In a U.S. cost-utility analysis published in the Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy, real-time CGM was found to be cost-effective compared to traditional glucose testing for people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, reflecting its expanding role in clinical care.
As Continuous Glucose Monitoring becomes more widely used, healthcare providers must understand not only how the technology works, but also how to interpret the data, apply it in clinical settings, and clearly communicate its value to patients. That’s why California BRN-approved CGM training plays an increasingly important role for today’s care teams.
Keeping Pace With Advances in Glucose Monitoring
Diabetes management is no longer based on isolated readings. CGM shows patterns—how glucose responds to meals, medications, activity, stress, and sleep. These trends help explain why a patient’s blood sugar rises or falls, not just when it happens.
For healthcare providers, this insight can transform care conversations. Instead of reacting to individual numbers, providers can guide patients using trends that support better long-term control. CGM also allows earlier detection of dangerous highs and lows, helping prevent complications before they escalate.
What You’ll Learn in CGM Training
This advanced training is designed to be practical and approachable. The focus is on real-world application—how Continuous Glucose Monitoring is used in everyday clinical settings and how it supports better diabetes management.
Here’s what the course covers:
Interpreting CGM Data and Glucose Trends
CGM systems generate ongoing glucose readings over time. This training introduces how to review and interpret CGM data and glucose trends in a clinical context, helping healthcare providers better understand how glucose levels change throughout the day.
Clinical Benefits of CGM in Managing Diabetes
The course explores the general clinical benefits associated with continuous glucose monitoring and discusses how CGM data may support overall diabetes care when used alongside existing treatment approaches.
Techniques for Calibrating CGM Devices
Accurate glucose readings are important for effective monitoring. This training provides an overview of calibration concepts related to CGM devices and outlines general considerations for maintaining data accuracy.
Detecting Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia
One of the key uses of CGM is monitoring for high and low glucose levels. The course reviews how CGM data may assist healthcare providers in recognizing patterns associated with hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
Integrating CGM Data With Other Health Metrics
CGM data is often considered alongside other patient information. This training discusses how glucose data may be viewed in combination with additional health metrics to support a broader understanding of a patient’s condition.
Ethical Considerations in CGM Use
The use of CGM technology involves access to ongoing health data. This course addresses general ethical considerations related to CGM, including patient privacy, informed consent, and responsible use of health information in clinical practice.
The Role of AI in CGM Data Analysis
As Continuous Glucose Monitoring technology evolves, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to assist with data analysis. This training introduces the general role of AI in CGM systems and discusses how it may support data interpretation and clinical decision-making.
How CGM Training Improves Patient Outcomes
Patients often feel overwhelmed by diabetes management. CGM data can be confusing without proper explanation. Well-trained providers can help patients:
- Understand how daily habits affect glucose levels
- Respond appropriately to CGM alerts
- Reduce anxiety around unexpected highs and lows
- Stay more engaged in their care
This leads to stronger adherence, better communication, and improved outcomes over time.
Benefits for Healthcare Providers
Completing California BRN-approved training through AMC helps healthcare professionals:
- Build confidence using modern diabetes technology
- Stay current with evolving care standards
- Improve collaboration with care teams
- Demonstrate commitment to ongoing learning
As technology becomes a bigger part of chronic disease management, staying informed helps providers remain effective and adaptable.
Designed for Busy Healthcare Professionals
This training respects the realities of healthcare schedules. The course takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete and offers 1.75 CME credits. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate of completion to verify their participation.
The concise format allows providers to gain meaningful, applicable knowledge without disrupting patient care or personal time.
