CE for Pharmacists: Review of Continuous Glucose Monitors: Technology and Beyond

by William D. Blake, 2022 PharmD Candidate, Vanessa Rivera, 2022 PharmD Candidate, Carolina Woloszyn, 2022 PharmD Candidate, Khyati Patel, PharmD, BCACP, Sneha Srivastava, PharmD, BCACP, CDCES, DipACLM

"Blood glucose monitoring technology is constantly evolving. The advances have led to the development and enhancement of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Currently, two different categories of FDA-approved CGMs are available in the market: real-time CGMs (rtCGMs) and intermittently scanning CGMs (isCGMs). Available literature indicates their efficacy in controlling blood glucose, reducing hypoglycemia, and improving quality of life. The use of these devices is further supported by major guideline recommendations. Pharmacists are vital in providing comprehensive care to patients with diabetes, including assistance with CGMs. As more and more patients embrace CGMs for glucose monitoring, it is imperative for pharmacists to continuously update their knowledge regarding CGMs."
