Pascal's Wager is a suggestion posed by the French Philosopher, Blaise Pascal, that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should wager that God exists because he or she has everything to gain and nothing to lose. In the area of consideration here, the optimum experimental trial of the combined use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and real-time continuous glucose monitoring in free-living individuals with type 1 diabetes providing rock-solid evidence of clinical benefit has not been performed. Nevertheless, there is considerable enthusiasm for combining the technologies among healthcare professionals, patients, and manufacturers based on the belief that this approach to diabetes care must be beneficial beyond the available evidence (i.e., reason).
帕斯卡赌注是由法国哲学家布莱兹·帕斯卡尔提出的一种建议，即尽管上帝的存在无法通过理性来确定，但一个人应该打赌上帝存在，因为他或她有一切可赢，而没有任何可输。在本文讨论的范围内，尚未对 1 型糖尿病患者进行过在自由生活环境下联合使用连续皮下胰岛素输注和实时连续血糖监测的最佳实验性试验，以提供确凿的临床获益证据。尽管如此，医疗保健专业人员、患者和制造商非常热衷于将这两种技术结合起来，其依据是他们相信这种糖尿病治疗方法肯定会带来除现有证据（即理性）以外的益处。
