Improving Selection and Utilization of Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) for People with Diabetes

January 3, 2022 to December 31, 2023

Fees: FREE
CPE Units: 1.0

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (BG) levels is critical to daily self-management for people with diabetes. Studies have shown that intensive insulin regimens and BG control corresponded with better glycemic control have resulted in a significant decrease in the microvascular complications of diabetes. Because CGM is still an evolving technology, both clinicians and patients would benefit from engaging, interactive, and evidence-based education to improve the utilization of these tools.  For ANCC, AMA, and AAPA credit please refer to this activity link: https://www.dannemiller.com/activity-details/improving-selection-and-utilization-of-continuous-glucose-monitors-cgm-for-people-with-diabetes

Learning Objectives:

• Develop new communication strategies to help their patients with diabetes optimize use of CGM technology to improve their glycemic control.
• Improve their ability to select patients with diabetes who will benefit from the use of CGM technology.
• Improve their ability to manage patients with diabetes and prevent severe acute complications such as hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis.
