Not all that glitters is gold – and not all glucose readings are created equal.
CGM adoption is accelerating across Australia, but the rapidly evolving device landscape brings with it real risks. Accuracy varies significantly between systems, and clinical decisions made on unreliable data can cause genuine patient harm.
In this focused session, our panel of GP and specialist experts will cut through the marketing noise, highlight the pitfalls of an increasingly crowded market, and provide practical guidance on best-practice CGM use – helping clinicians and patients get accurate data, make sound decisions, and achieve the best possible outcomes.
"Emptor et Clinicus caveant" - Buyer and clinician beware – your patient's safety depends on it.
