Predictive Value of Glycemic Parameters Measured With the FSL Pro iQ During ACS (FREESCA)

June 11, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Predictive Value of Glycemic Parameters Measured With the Freestyle Libre Pro iQ During Acute Coronary Syndrome

Disorders of glycemic regulation are common in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Abnormal glycaemia is observed in 50% of cases, in 30-40% diabetes, and in 25-35% fasting hyperglycaemia or glucose intolerance.

Hyperglycemia is a major prognostic factor in ACS, with admission hyperglycemia having independent prognostic value for both short- and long-term major cardiovascular events (MACE), regardless of the presence of diabetes.

Metabolically, several situations can be distinguished:

  • Hyperglycaemia occurs in known non-diabetic ACS subjects. It can be indicative of (i) Type 2 Diabetes or (ii) stress hyperglycaemia (diagnostic threshold for blood sugar varies according to learned societies, with HbA1c < 6.5%).
  • Hyperglycaemia occurs in known diabetic ACS subjects Most studies use admission blood sugar as a predictor. However, it has recently been shown that glycemic variability indexes would be better predictors of MACE. Using continuous glucose measurement for 48 h, it has been shown that significant glycemic variability is a more powerful predictor of MACE at 1 year than admission glycemia The measurement of glycemic variability is mainly possible thanks to the development of CGM (continuous glucose measurement).

To our knowledge, no study has been interested in evaluating the predictive value of the various glycemic parameters measured by CGM.

Published studies have used continuous glucose measurements for very short periods (24 or 72 hours maximum), which limits these measurements.

The freestyle libre Pro iQ (FSLPro iQ) is a professional sensor for continuous, non-invasive interstitial glucose measurement allowing the recording of glycemic parameters for 2 weeks.

Our hypothesis is that glycaemic parameters, alone or in combination with each other or with other patient risk factors, measured with the Freestyle libre Pro iQ have a significant prognostic value in terms of cardiovascular clinical events at 12 months in a population of patients with ACS managed as standard and followed up.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Experimental: Freestyle Libre PRO iQ sensor
Eligible patients
Device: Freestyle Libre Pro iQ

Freestyle Libre Pro iQ is a professional sensor, marketed by the Abbott laboratory, for continuous, non-invasive interstitial glucose measurement allowing the recording of glycemic parameters for 2 weeks.

The study will be offered to any subject with an ACS. The installation of the Freestyle Libre Pro iQ sensor will be performed upon admission to intensive care Cardiology and left in place for the duration of hospitalization. In case of the Freestyle Libre Pro iQ sensor defective or removed before discharge from hospital, and if the patient tolerates it, a new the Freestyle Libre Pro iQ sensor will be placed. If the duration of hospitalization exceeds 14 days, a 2nd sensor will be placed.
