Pharmacy & CGMs - Advanced Training

Advance Your CGM Knowledge Today!

Pharmacy and Continuous Glucose Monitoring:

The Sweetest Pairing

Be the expert in CGM management and the “go to” trusted healthcare provider for your patients with diabetes.

Did You Know?

The US spends more than $400 billion on diabetes care per year.
Medical costs for diabetes continue to increase despite the advances in medication therapy.
Technology, such as CGMs, is helping alleviate the financial burden and increase the quality of life for persons with diabetes.

That’s why we partnered with diabetes, wellness, exercise, and nutrition experts to create the Pharmacy and Continuous Glucose Monitoring: The Sweetest Pairing.

With this training, pharmacy teams can help patients achieve better health outcomes, enhance quality of life, and add revenue streams to their clinical practice.

Expand Your Expertise

CGMs are increasingly a gold standard tool for superior management of diabetes. To control symptoms, minimize patient harm, and improve outcomes, CGMs should be implemented as early as pre-diabetes diagnosis (or even before diagnosis, really!) occurs.

Our expert-level course is a tailored online program designed to support and empower pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to establish themselves as CGM experts.

We'll guide you in developing your expertise in CGM usage so you can be recognized as the “go to” healthcare provider for diabetes education and blood glucose management.

Be The Difference In Diabetes Management

By practicing the same way we have for many decades, we are not taking practical steps to help patients achieve their most positive health outcomes. When this happens, quality of life decreases, and mortality and the costs associated with diabetes continue to rise.

Every pharmacist and pharmacy technician should be up to date on CGM management. Whether your practice is in the community or acute care setting, advancement in CGM technology is applicable to all patients.
