Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Is It for You?
If you’re wondering what continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is all about, this 60 minute workshop is for you.
Facilitated by an experienced certified diabetes educator, you’ll learn how a CGM device works, along with the benefits CGM has to offer, including warnings of high and low blood glucose, whether your glucose is rising or falling, and identification of “trouble spots” in your glucose patterns and areas for improvement. Important issues, such as calibration, how to wear the device, and insurance coverage will be addressed. Key features of various CGM devices will be discussed to help you make an informed decision about CGM and which device might be best for you. This workshop will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about CGM.
Classes are scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of every month from 4:00-5:00pm. To register call: 617-264-2767
Sensor LOGIC
Sensor Logic is a one-day, comprehensive program for people who are using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in their diabetes self-management.
The program is designed to help CGM users enhance their diabetes self-management by focusing on advanced CGM topics, such as calibration, setting alarms, optimizing post-meal glucose patterns, and managing “information overload”. In addition, you’ll be given guidance on downloading reports from CGM software. Sensor LOGIC is supervised by a physician, and uses a multidisciplinary approach, including a nurse educator, dietician and psychologist. Lunch and snacks are provided, allowing you to observe and review the effects of food on post-meal glucose patterns. You’ll also benefit from a small group setting in which you can share experiences, concerns and helpful advice with others.
For a schedule of upcoming programs please call 617-264-2767.
* CGM classes are at this time limited to current Joslin patients.
