  • 1.  Suggestion for webinars

    Posted 28-04-2022 12:24
    Hi,

    Given the hopefully soon-to-be increase coverage for subsidised CGM, could we please have some webinars from Diabetes Aus professionals on how we all can make the best use of this technology to improve our diabetes management. I have found that the additional information provided by CGM can be overwhelming at first, and that it takes some time to figure out how best to use that information. For instance, it would be useful to have some tips, for example, on setting alarm levels, figuring out what adjustments the trend arrows indicate, etc. etc

    thanks
    Kath

    Agree Kath.

    • Could I also suggest a webinar on the relative long-term consequences of:
    • 1/ Keeping HbA1c around the level for non-diabetics (~5) instead of 7 to 8,
    • 2/ Keeping BGL stable instead of widely varying around a good average (~5.5).

    CGMs make it easier to see variations in BGL (point 2) and the Libre (1 & 2) provides an estimate of HbA1c which I find to be reasonably accurate (not sure about the others).
