Video Summary
In this video, Professor Jane Lusch, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, discusses the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and its role in managing diabetes. She emphasizes the importance of using CGM to optimize the lives of people with diabetes, as it provides valuable information about glycemic control. Professor Lusch explains the various CGM systems available and how they can be used to track time in range, time below range, and time above range. She highlights the benefits of CGM, such as its ability to detect hypoglycemia and glucose variability, which cannot be determined by A1C alone. Professor Lusch presents several case studies to illustrate how CGM data can inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. She also discusses the challenges in implementing CGM in clinical practice and highlights the need for education, support, and infrastructure to facilitate its use. Professor Lusch concludes by advocating for access to CGM for the right patients and reimbursement for the necessary resources to support its implementation.
