Revolutionizing MNT: The Vital Role of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Diabetes Care

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged as a valuable tool for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in working with clients who have diabetes. The data from CGM not only informs the person living with diabetes but it can also guide the dietitian in personalizing dietary recommendations.

This interactive workshop will empower participants with the knowledge and skills they need to utilize CGM in practice. Through hands-on experience with CGM systems, you'll elevate your skills beyond traditional glucose monitoring, unlocking new avenues for client support. Practical tips and tools for using CGM will be provided for maximizing its use in practice including how to review, interpret, and share the information displayed in the reports. Engage in interactive case studies, where real-time data enables you to identify trends and glycemic variability, informing targeted diabetes nutrition strategies. Through discussion, hands-on participation, and even the option to wear a CGM yourself, participants will leave this FNCE® workshop with confidence to integrate CGM within their practice and provide client-centered diabetes care recommendations.
