Abstract

Purpose: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are increasingly used by older adults. Although these devices offer several advantages over traditional techniques, such as fingerstick capillary blood glucose, the current article discusses the impact and benefits of CGMs in the context of older adults in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and explores ways to improve and manage their use through the collaboration of an interprofessional team.

Method: Current evidence and guidance on implementing CGM devices in SNFs is reviewed.

Results: Current strategies for the successful and safe use of CGM devices in SNFs include staff and patient education, close monitoring, operational workflow, and interprofessional collaboration.

Conclusion: To manage patients with diabetes in SNFs, an interactive, multidisciplinary, and multifaceted approach is needed. Larger studies on the management of CGM devices in SNFs are required. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 51(3), 7-12.].

在熟练护理机构中使用连续血糖监测：管理实施策略。

目的：连续血糖监测（CGM）设备越来越多地被老年人使用。尽管这些设备比传统技术（如手指针刺毛细血管血糖）有许多优点，但本文讨论了cgm在熟练护理机构（snf）老年人中的影响和益处，并探讨了通过跨专业团队的合作来改进和管理其使用的方法。方法：回顾目前在snf中实施CGM装置的证据和指南。结果：目前在snf中成功和安全使用CGM器械的策略包括工作人员和患者教育、密切监测、操作流程和跨专业合作。结论：要管理snf糖尿病患者，需要一种互动的、多学科的、多方面的方法。需要对snf中CGM装置的管理进行更大规模的研究。老年护理杂志，51(3),7-12。
