How to Reap the Benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Maintain Your Device (A Patient Education Podcast)

Overview: Do you use continuous glucose monitoring (also known as “CGM”) or care for someone who does? Listen to this podcast hosted by two diabetes education specialists, Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Patricia Montesinos, NP, as they review important information regarding the currently available CGM devices and discuss common issues and questions that arise for people with diabetes using CGM. The pair will begin by reviewing important information about CGM devices for people starting out and will address common questions about using CGM. This will be followed by discussion of more advanced topics, including when to call your healthcare team about your device or the glucose data on your device, and how to approach making insulin and dietary adjustments based on glucose data from a CGM device.

Please consult a medical professional regarding whether CGM is a good choice for you.
