Practical CGM: Improving Patient Outcomes Through Continuous Glucose Monitoring Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Use of real-time continuous glucose monitors among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is growing rapidly and should continue to grow until an artificial pancreas is brought to market. Likewise, use of professional systems in healthcare practices is expanding. But, other than manufacturer instructional manuals and some book chapters on CGMs, there are no standalone publications available with concise, non-commercial instructions on CGM prescription and use.Additionally, continuous glucose monitors are too often not used to their full and proper potential. This leaves users with suboptimal glucose control and can result in system abandonment.To address this, diabetes educator and author Gary Scheiner has created Practical CGM: Improving Patient Outcomes through Continuous Glucose Monitoring to give healthcare providers the skill to make more effective use of the data generated by continuous glucose monitors, in both real-time and on a retrospective analytic basis. Using a plain-language approach and distilling content to concise, practical tips and techniques, Scheiner has created a guide that will help practitioners optimize patient use of CGM systems and, ultimately, improve glucose control and patient health outcomes.

I was pretty disappointed in this short (91 pages) book on CGMs. It provides decent, basic information, but that's about it. A particular annoyance is that many of the graphs used to illustrate particular points are so small they are unreadable. It's like they just pasted a bad, tiny Xerox copy onto the page. As a new CGM user, I felt like the book was more of a basic primer for providers than patients -- and I do mean basic. I'm sure there are better educational options out there.
I would highly recommend this book for those who use CGM and for healthcare professionals that teach CGM use. Mr. Schreiner's writing style is easy to understand and engaging. The book offers advice in how to respond to the real time readings as well as restropective data. As a certified diabetes educator, I highly recommend this book to get the most out of CGM use.
Great current coverage and identifies the existing problems, which we have fixed, in our developing Continuous Glucose Monitor, leading to an Artificial Pancreas. Dr Kretz, Adcanced BioSensors-Ohio, LLC, info@advancedbiosensors.com
Some folks have called this overly basic, but there are practical "case studies" in here that are very useful.
This books is written as a very user friendly book. U Don't have to be a clinician to understand the topics covered.
Very nice item with quick shipping. Thank you!
very good book
Well written.
