title: Experience with the Enlite sensor in a multicenter pediatric study.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to outline the experience of certified diabetes educators (CDEs) using the Enlite continuous glucose monitoring sensor system in a pediatric multicenter randomized controlled trial. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is becoming popular as a tool for educators and families to improve glycemic control. CGM can be a valuable educational tool to demonstrate to the user the impact of insulin dosing and effects of physical activity, food intake, and other life events such as work, illness, and stress on their glycemic control. The authors will share education tips and practical applications for diabetes educators to facilitate education and sustained use of Enlite glucose sensors in children and adolescents using insulin pump therapy.
  
  
  
  The Enlite glucose sensor is a comfortable and user-friendly device. Improvements to both the insertion device and the Enlite glucose sensor have resulted in improved level of comfort on insertion and with ongoing wear, which may translate into greater adherence and effectiveness.
