Continuous Glucose Monitoring

This guide discusses the integration of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology into clinical practice, emphasizing the role of pharmacists in selecting and optimizing CGM devices for patients.

The continuous glucose monitoring system will be available for purchase online and without a prescription starting in summer 2024.

Continuous glucose monitors can significantly improve the lives of patients with diabetes, offering less finger pokes, improved compliance, and easier use methods.

Some devices are being sold OTC for individuals without diabetes to track their health.

CGM devices can also help individuals with diabetes make more informed decisions about their diet, exercise, and medication management, leading to improved overall health outcomes.

Newly modified FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors can be worn by children aged 2 years and older with diabetes.

New continuous glucose monitor systems provide additional support and quality of life improvements for patients with diabetes.
