1 ADVANCES IN DIABETES TECHNOLOGY: A FOCUS ON CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING 9:15 10:15 AM ACPE UAN: L01-P 0.1 CEU/1 hr Activity Type: Knowledge-Based Learning Objectives for Pharmacists: Upon completion of this CPE activity participants should be able to: 1. Describe the limitations of self-management of blood glucose and the impact continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has on diabetes management decisions. 2. Identify patients who would benefit from professional and/or personal CGM. 3. Differentiate among the available CGMs in terms of technical features, benefits and limitations, device compatibility and ease of use. 4.

9 What Types of Data Will We Get? Real-time data Immediate action points Therapeutic CGM data Can be used alone to make treatment decisions Dexcom G5 and G6 Freestyle Libre Retrospective data Identify patterns, fine-tune therapy, behavioral interventions FDA expands indication for continuous glucose monitoring system, first to replace fingerstick testing for diabetes treatment decisions. Food & Drug Administration. Published December 20, Accessed April 8, 2018 FDA approves first continuous glucose monitoring system for adults not requiring blood sample calibration. Food & Drug Administration. Published September 27, Accessed April 8 th, 2018 Real-Time Data: Arrow Indicators Rising Glucose SG 160 mg/dl and glucose is rising at a rate of 3+ mg/dl/min. Within 30 minutes the glucose level will be 250mg/dl Reacting to this trend arrow by administering more insulin can help prevent elevated glucose Falling Glucose SG 130 mg/dl and glucose is falling at a rate of 3+ mg/dl/min Within 30 minutes the glucose level will be ~40 mg/dl Reacting to this trend arrow by eating 15 grams of a fast acting carb could prevent hypoglycemia 8

10 Who is the Ideal Patient for Personal or Professional CGM? Intensive insulin regimen Frequent hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia unawareness Excessive glucose variability Varying and/or intensive activity Patient is 2 years of age or older Pregnant or wants to get pregnant Desire to improve glycemic control Desire to understand behaviors that influence glycemic control J. Endocr. Soc ;1(12): doi: /js Why not just go directly to personal CGM device? 9

11 Professional CGM Comparison Patient Case: CGM SH is a 72 YOF with type 1 diabetes who presents to endocrine clinic for professional CGM evaluation. She was referred due to suboptimal A1c, recurrent hypoglycemia, and hypoglycemia unawareness. She reported using glucagon 1-3 times per month for the past year with some episodes resulting in the paramedics being called. 10

12 Patient Case: Professional CGM Meter Log Before CGM Target: mg/dl % below target 11% % within target 40% % above target 49% Patient Case: CGM SH returns 3 months after receiving personal CGM No glucagon use or paramedic calls Less rebound hyperglycemia following hypoglycemia Decreased alcoholic intake; eats complex carb/protein snack with alcohol to prevent low BG Rarely stops insulin pump manually for low BG Decreased anxiety over fear of hypoglycemia Feels more comfortable participating in activities she enjoys 11

13 Patient Case: CGM Order of Priority 1. Prevent hypoglycemia 2. Achieve fasting glucose targets 3. Target post-prandial glucose As HgbA1c approaches goal, post-prandial glucose are the main contributor to hyperglycemia 12

29 Home CGM Continuation in Hospitalized Patients? Off-label use Institutional Procedures and guidelines should be developed Patient Waivers Sensors should be removed prior to CT, MRI or X- rays Remove reusable transmitters from sensors to avoid accidental disposal CGM in Hospitalized Patients Accuracy Changes in ph, hematocrit levels, blood oxygen tension, peripheral perfusion Substance interference Who will interpret data and make treatment decisions? How will CGM data be communicated to the nurse? What portions of data should be recorded and archived in the medical record? 28

30 The Role of the Pharmacist Identify appropriate patients for CGM through pharmacy records and patient interviews Educate patients regarding CGM Develop CGM programs for professional and/or personal CGM Medication Experts Understanding the mechanism and impact are a key component to CGM interpretation CGM is a mechanism for making drug therapy recommendations Questions?
