AADE Practice Paper in Brief: The Diabetes Educator Role in Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a powerful diabetes technology tool providing realtime, downloadable glucose data for monitoring and decision making by both clinicians and people with diabetes (PWD), and CGM technology products with an array of options are emerging in the market. The latest AADE practice paper, “The Diabetes Educator Role in Continuous Glucose Monitoring,” reviews GCM and its benefits, noting research that supports significant reductions in hypoglycemia with the use of the tool compared with the use of traditional blood glucose monitoring on its own. Professional CGM and personal CGM are discussed, and tables provide a quick reference guide by device for working with PWD. You’re encouraged to read the full article and see the tables on the AADE web site.
