AACE’s Advanced Diabetes Technology – Conversations and Collaborations is designed to equip endocrine care team members with evidence-based knowledge and increased competence about how to use diabetes technology and devices to guide and modify treatment approaches for persons with diabetes. Completion of this self-paced course is encouraged prior to attending a live session as it provides foundational information that will be built upon in the live program.

Faculty Information:

Commercial Support: This activity is supported by independent educational grants from Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Lilly, Medtronic, and Novo Nordisk.

Learning objectives:

Through this education, learners will improve their abilities to:

• Assess differences and best uses for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and integrated devices.
• Discuss appropriate settings for CGMs, connected pens, insulin pumps, and integrated devices.
• Identify interventions which can add value to A1c interpretation and optimize “in-target” glucose values to improve patient adherence and reduce the occurrent of dysglycemia.
• Incorporate diabetes technologies that are effective in managing patients in special populations and individual needs.
• Navigate insurance challenges when implementing diabetes technologies.
