Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Training for Primary Care
Diabetes CME course
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies are increasingly common and accessible to patients with diabetes. And since family physicians and other primary care professionals regularly see patients with diabetes, understanding the use case of CGM tech is more important than ever.
In this free, online CME course, you’ll cover the current evidence about CGM and practical strategies to optimize diabetes care in your practice. Dive into clinical examples, learn from expert faculty and engage in reflective learning activities to improve diabetes outcomes.
- Background and overview of CGM devices, metrics and data
- CGM workflows and integration in clinical practice
- Patient identification, engagement and shared decision making
- CGM use in clinical care case studies
