Video Summary
The webinar focused on the use of diabetes technology to improve outcomes and advance equity. The speakers discussed the clinical indications and benefits of diabetes technology in managing type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They also addressed the disparities in diabetes technology use and access among different populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with lower income or public insurance. The speakers emphasized the importance of addressing these disparities and promoting more equitable use of diabetes technology. They highlighted the benefits of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps in improving glycemic control, reducing complications, and enhancing quality of life. They discussed the barriers to access, including financial and insurance issues, lack of familiarity and exposure to the technology, mistrust, and provider biases. The speakers also highlighted the importance of cultural-specific support groups and addressing unconscious biases in healthcare providers. They discussed the recent changes in Medicare coverage for CGMs and the need for policy changes to improve access to diabetes technology. Overall, the webinar emphasized the need for further research, advocacy for policy change, and increased awareness among healthcare providers to address the disparities in diabetes technology use and promote equitable access for all populations.
