About the CPD course
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.
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.
