Experts discuss how the integration of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data into electronic health record (EHR) systems enhances clinical decision-making and care coordination, how primary care providers (PCPs) can leverage CGM data integration to provide more comprehensive diabetes care in the context of a shortage of endocrinologists, and the impact of varying coverage policies for CGM across different payers on patient access and outcomes, particularly for patients on basal insulin.

Experts discuss the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived metrics, particularly glucose management indicator (GMI), in the new Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) diabetes care measures and ACO quality targets, and how CGM-specific metrics are being incorporated into the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)’s quality measures and the implications for health plans.

Experts discuss the relative value of different continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics (glucose management indicator [GMI], time in range, glucose variability) in assessing glycemic control and how these outcomes vary across different patient populations.

Experts discuss the clinical and practical factors that guide decision-making when recommending continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) vs traditional glucose monitoring for patients with type 2 diabetes.

This program was supported through an independent medical education grant from Dexcom Medical Affairs. Experts discuss how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) adoption impacts clinical inertia and supports earlier therapeutic interventions across different patient populations, highlighting measurable improvements in patient outcomes, such as glycemic control, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, hypoglycemic events, and quality of life.

This program was supported through an independent medical education grant from Dexcom Medical Affairs. Experts discuss the key benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology compared with traditional monitoring based on recent clinical trial data, including research on cardiovascular risk reduction in noninsulin-treated T2D.

A panelist discusses how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology can help overcome therapeutic inertia and key barriers to glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients by providing real-time data that enables earlier interventions, supports treatment optimization, and helps managed care organizations justify broader CGM adoption for newly diagnosed patients.
