    New technology that provides valuable data and insights has brought transformative benefits to people living with type 2 diabetes and their GPs.

    This course will highlight new developments in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and demystify the glucose pattern insights (GPI) report that will empower you to offer more personalised and effective T2D management. Whether you want to update your skills with the latest in data-driven glycaemic control, or you are coming to this topic with a fresh pair of eyes, this mini-audit will provide you with key information and hands-on experience.

    One GP described it as 'a total lightbulb moment in my career of managing type 2 diabetes', and we invite you to have the same illuminating experience as our experts take you through how technology and data can optimise your management of T2D. As part of this mini-audit, you will have an opportunity to experience continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in a real-world setting, through the trial application of a sensor on yourself or a patient living with T2D.

    Learning outcomes

    On completion of this education activity participants will be able to:
    Understand the applications and roles of new technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in T2D management.
    Analyse the glucose data in a Glucose Pattern Insights (GPI) report and recognise glucose variability and its possible causes.
    Select appropriate patients and apply information gained from new technologies towards optimising individualised T2D care.
    Engage in patient education to ensure patients' understanding and utilisation of new technologies.
