About the CPD Course

Living with diabetes is a numbers game, constantly chasing blood glucose numbers, dosing and monitoring. Blood glucose meters give a snapshot of glucose - a number at one point in time – with no indication of where that number is heading, up or down. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is more like a story. A small sensor measures glucose levels just underneath the skin every five minutes, and a transmitter sends data wirelessly to a compatible smartphone, so people with diabetes can know their glucose number just with a glance at their phone, without finger pricks*. This course will help you understand the importance of early initiation of CGM for people with diabetes on insulin therapy and guide you through the clinical evidence supporting this.* Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.

At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power, we’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.
