  • Speakers: Dr. Gregory Forlenza and Cathy Haldane
  • Moderator: Dr. Gaman Mohammed
  • Summary: iCGM technology has been revolutionary in improving diabetes care, yet access to CGMs remains highly unequal across the globe. In this webinar, we will first review the principles and guidelines related to CGM accuracy and safety, and how to critically interpret performance data. Building on this foundation, we will then turn to emerging CGM technologies being introduced in low-resource settings. Many of these devices hold a CE mark rather than an iCGM designation, and the evidence supporting their use can be limited or inconsistent.

We will explore how clinicians and health systems can evaluate the acceptability, effectiveness, and safety of new CGMs, while also considering affordability and health equity. The session will conclude with discussion on what a sustainable framework could look like to promote access to high-quality, reliable CGM technology in lower-resource contexts.
