مستخلص: As literature and guidelines increasingly support the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology, clinicians are implementing it into clinical practice. CGM assists clinicians in overcoming clinical inertia by allowing them to optimize pharmacological therapy while diminishing hypoglycemia risk. However, it may be difficult for clinicians to stay up to date with currently available CGM devices and guideline recommendations. Pharmacists can assist in choosing the ideal CGM device for each candidate, provide training, analyze glycemic trends, and optimize medication therapy based on the data. Pharmacists may also be able to bill for these services to ensure a sustainable practice model. This guide is for pharmacists who are interested in utilizing CGM technology in clinical practice. It discusses differences between personal-use and professional-use CGM devices and features of each CGM device currently available. Additionally, it provides an overview of considerations and candidates, interpretation of reports, coverage, and billing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
