This course will guide you through the wealth of high-level, randomised control trial evidence across all ages, from young children, through the older paediatrics, teenagers, younger adults, adults, and into senior years.

NICE1 was established on 1 April 1999, as part of the government’s wider strategy to address ‘unacceptable variations in performance and practice’ in the NHS and to remove a ‘lottery in care with patients being denied treatment available in neighbouring areas’2 This informative course will guide you through all Guidelines related to people living with diabetes and provide you with the information required to determine eligibility to rtCGM Systems. 1. NICE clinical guidelines cover the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland 2. The Kings Fund, Briefing, NICE technology appraisals, 2008.

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.

Glucose alerts are an integral part of CGM systems and will alert the person living with Diabetes when their levels fall outside of present high and Low glucose levels, in order that they can take action. Customisable high and low glucose alerts offer people with diabetes the ability to set alert schedules and repeat alert functionality for discretion and flexibility. This course will guide Healthcare Professionals though the basic features and functions of Dexcom rtCGM system alerts and trend arrows. It will discuss the importance of educating people living with Diabetes and using rtCGM, on setting customised alerts levels to meet the needs of their own personalised care regime, to help them to take action to prevent or reduce the time spent in hypoglycaemia.

Hypoglycaemia is common in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). In fact, most people with T1D experience at least 1 or 2 episodes of mild hypoglycaemia a week. 1

Different kinds of activity and exercise have differing effects on glucose levels, and for anyone living with Diabetes, it is important to understand the impact of activity on glucose levels before, during and after exercise. This course will guide you through both the theory and practicalities of the impact of exercise on glucose levels for people living with Diabetes and gives useful information that you can provide to your patients during consultations.

Understanding how rtCGM can help to improve the lives of people living with diabetes is crucial to help application in clinical practice. This course will guide you through several real-life case studies using rtCGM, providing a detailed report of the problems, management and follow-up of individual patients.

Having confidence that a CGM device is accurate, is high priority for any Healthcare Professional initiating such technology with people living with Diabetes.

This course discusses a high-level overview of the existing evidence for using CGM in Type 2 diabetes. International clinical recommendations from ADA, AACE and EASD are examined where experts evaluated evidence to provide recommendations. Additionally, key systematic reviews, meta-analyses and clinical trials for CGM in Type 2 Diabetes are explored, including the landmark MOBILE study on the use of CGM in basal insulin users. Real-world evidence showing the benefits of CGM in this population is also discussed. The course concludes with a glance into the future and the need for continued evidence generation.

Join Dr Nanna Lind, lead author of the Steno2tech Study, as she discusses important outcomes of this research evaluating long-term effects of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) versus capillary blood glucose monitoring (CBG) in adults living with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) currently not achieving targets. This study found that CGM-correlated improvements were sustained over the long term, noting the benefits at six months were sustained at 12-months. In addition, researchers noted that CGM overcomes the limitations of traditional blood glucose monitoring–which can be painful, inconvenient, and fail to capture a complete glycaemic picture, given the intermittent nature of CBG.

This bite size module is a follow on from the Dexcom Education Hub course “Time in Range” an excellent metric for assessing risk of diabetes related complications1 and will introduce the concept of Time in Tight Range. This concept is an effort to encourage people with diabetes to achieve near normoglycemic ranges, and similar glucose levels to those living without diabetes. There is thought that by treating to this target, we could significantly reduce, or even eliminate the incidence of diabetes related complications2.

This short course will provide an overview with practical tips and tricks for the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in people living with diabetes who are pregnant.  It will include discussion on the clinical set up and support for use of CGM (including both staff and patients), challenges that may be faced with using CGM in pregnancy, discuss equity for access to CGM and will be concluded with some top tips for the use of CGM in pregnancy.
