EDUCATIONAL AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain how sensor-based glucose monitoring can be used to improve health metrics in persons with diabetes and obesity
- Describe new device-based advances in CGM technology, including how to use Glucose Pattern Insight Reports (GPIR) to guide both patient-based behavioral change and clinician-directed interventions in persons with diabetes
- Discuss the critical importance of continuous glucose monitoring to ensure attainment of glycemic targets—TIR, GV, and HA1c/GMI—in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes, regardless of therapeutic interventions used to lower blood glucose
- Identify the processes, triggers, and authorization protocols for reimbursement for technologies/devices used for continuous glucose monitoring
- Illustrate the practice efficiencies and patient education/behavior guidance dimensions of using the Glucose Patterns Insight Report available on some CGM devices
- Identify a broad range of persons with Type 2 diabetes, including those on oral therapies for obesity, who can potentially benefit from flash continuous monitoring
- Establish protocols and clinical decision trees for incorporating and implementing sensor-based CGM within the management workflow for diabetes care in the physician associate and primary care settings
