Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Outline and discuss the evidentiary basis for senor/patch-based CGM technologies, and how to best implement CGM-based technologies into their overall diabetes care plans for persons with diabetes within the managed care environment
  • Detail the practical implementation perspective of sensor-based continuous glucose monitoring in the managed care setting to optimize clinical outcomes, target goal attainment, and comprehensive health metrics in persons across the diabetes spectrum, especially persons with Type 2 diabetes
  • Identify appropriate persons with diabetes who can benefit from the use of sensor-based glucose monitoring to optimize glycemic and health metrics, including persons on basal insulin therapy as well as those only on oral antidiabetics drugs.
  • Discuss the rationale and evidence for pharmacists and physicians recommending and facilitating adoption of technology-centric CGM monitoring and treatment plans using patch-and-reader-based technologies in the managed care setting
