F19B - Increasing Implementation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Primary Care

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can help people with diabetes achieve improved glycemic outcomes and is associated with improved psychosocial, behavioral, and other clinical outcomes. However, it has had slower uptake in primary care compared to specialty care settings. This limits access to CGM because the majority of people with diabetes receive care in primary care settings. This session discusses a study that aimed to understand how to effectively support practices to improve capacity to offer CGM and use it to guide diabetes care using three CGM implementation strategies. Presenters will share analysis of changes in implementation scores, HbA1c, and BMI over 12 months of study participation.
