Description

This program will introduce continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to healthcare professionals. Participants will gain a clear understanding of CGM technology, which involves wearable sensors that continuously measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, offering real-time data and trends. The program will cover best practices for the interpretation of data. Attendees will also learn about the key differences between various CGM products. By mastering these aspects, healthcare professionals will be better equipped to enhance patient care, leading to improved glucose control, reduced risk of glucose-related complications, and overall better management of diabetes.
