Abstract
This article describes the implementation of a diabetes technology educational program targeting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) adoption that significantly increased utilization of CGM in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Florida. The author proposes that diabetes care and education specialists (DCESs) are uniquely positioned in the health care ecosystem to serve as diabetes technology champions. The article provides a step-by-step roadmap that DCESs and clinicians can use as they lead efforts to expand CGM adoption and durable use.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Diabetes Spectrum: From Research to Practice is to assist health care professionals in the development of strategies to individualize treatment and diabetes self-management education for improved quality of life and diabetes control. These goals are achieved by presenting review as well as original, peer-reviewed articles on topics in clinical diabetes management, professional and patient education, nutrition, behavioral science and counseling, educational program development, and advocacy. In each issue, the FROM RESEARCH TO PRACTICE section explores, in depth, a diabetes care topic and provides practical application of current research findings.
