Therapeutic Thursdays: Understanding Continuous Glucose Monitors

This episode provides an overview of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). We discuss the different brands and models of CGMs available, and how to determine which one is right for the patient. We explore who typically qualifies for using these devices and what patients can do if their insurance doesn’t cover them. We also explain the data that CGM’s provide and how healthcare teams can access and review this information to better inform patient care. We conclude with practical counseling points on using CGMs day to day.  The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter.
