In original article, there are few facts published
incorrectly. The correct Table 4is given below.
There are few corrections in the second
paragraph under the Table 4.
‘In the additional scenario considering sev-
ere and non-severe hypoglycaemic episodes, the
total annual cost reached 2,951,884 and
2,309,089 for the cohort with SMBG and the
FreeStyle Libre 2 system, respectively.’’
‘Cost savings with the use of the FreeStyle
Libre 2 system as compared to SMBG would be
up to 642,795 per year (-21.8%) (Table 4).’
The original article has been updated.

... Some previous studies have evaluated the economic impact of the adoption of FSL in different health systems. Some studies comparatively analyzed the direct medical costs of FSL versus SGM in T1DM in the UK [17], in Spain [18], in T2DM in Spain [19], and both populations in the USA [20]. Likewise, other studies analyzed the cost-effectiveness of this technology versus SGM for T1DM patients in Sweden [21], Scotland [22], Spain [23,24], Australia, and European countries [25]; and for T2DM patients in China [23], and European countries [26]. ...

Objective: To estimate the budget impact of the potential coverage of FreeStyle Libre Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (FSL) for glycemia monitoring in all type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients and in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with multiple daily insulin injections, from the social security and the private third-party payer's perspective in Argentina. Methods: A budget impact model was developed to estimate the cost difference between the self-monitoring of blood glucose (standard of care) and FSL over 5 years. Input parameters were retrieved from local literature complemented by expert opinion. Health care costs were estimated by a micro-costing approach and reported in USD as of April 2022 (1 USD = 113.34 Argentine pesos). One-way sensitivity and scenario analyses were conducted. Results: From a social security third-party payer perspective, the incorporation of FSL was associated with net savings per member per month (PMPM) of $0.026 (Year 1) to $0.097 (Year 5) and net savings PMPM of $0.002 (Year 1) to $0.008 (Year 5) for T1DM and T2DM patients, respectively. Similar findings are reported from the private third-party payer perspective. The budget impact results were more sensitive to the acquisition costs of the FSL and test strips. Conclusion: The potential coverage of FSL in patients with T1DM and T2DM with multiple daily insulin injections could be associated with small financial savings considering current technology acquisition costs (FSL and test strips) for social security and the private sector third-party payers in Argentina.
