Here's the answer, from the paper:

In the continuous-monitoring group, the use of sensors was greater among patients who were 25 years of age or older than in the other two age groups (P<0.001). The use of sensors was consistently high during the 26-week period among patients in the oldest age group but declined over time in the other two age groups (Figure 3). Excluding the three patients who dropped out, only one patient who was 25 years of age or older, seven who were 15 to 24 years of age, and two who were 8 to 14 years of age discontinued continuous glucose monitoring before completing the 26-week visit. At least 6.0 days of sensor use per week was the average for 83% of patients who were 25 years of age or older, 30% who were 15 to 24 years of age, and 50% who were 8 to 14 years of age. Sensor use was not associated with the baseline glycated hemoglobin level (Spearman's correlation coefficients, 0.08, –0.02, and 0.03 in the three groups, respectively).
