Leading endocrinologists Dr. Steven V. Edelman and Dr. Timothy S. Bailey have co-authored a CGM Guide to help users understand CGM. Both doctors are recognized for bringing technology into diabetes care. The guide uses sample situations to show how to understand the information provided by CGM, and how the information can be used in daily diabetes management.

The guide explores different patient scenarios that cover a range of issues, including:

• CGM definition and description
• CGM as a complement to existing diabetes management tools
• Carbohydrate ratios and insulin correction factors to consider while using CGM
• Hyperglycemia precaution: over-correcting for low blood sugar
• Hypoglycemia alert: Over-correcting (stacking the dose) during high blood sugar
• Identifying glucose levels and patterns during the night with the help of CGM

Situations Covered in the CGM Guide

• Section I: Blood Glucose Levels on the Rise
• Section II: Blood Glucose Levels on the Way Down
• Section III: Blood Glucose Levels During the Night

Sample from Section I: Blood Glucose Levels on the Rise

This educational tool is the result of a joint effort among Taking Control of Your Diabetes (501c3), Steven V. Edelman, M.D., and Timothy S. Bailey, M.D. An unrestricted educational grant was provided by DexCom, Inc. to facilitate the production of this guide.
