Diabetes continues to be one of the biggest health challenges in Canada, with thousands of new diagnoses every year. For pharmacists, real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) is changing the game. By measuring glucose in interstitial fluid and transmitting data continuously to a device, rtCGM gives patients, and their healthcare teams, instant insights into glucose trends anytime, anywhere.
Why does this matter? rtCGM allows for more proactive interventions, reduces the risk of hypoglycemia, and supports better overall diabetes management. It also opens the door for pharmacists to engage patients in meaningful conversations about their glucose patterns, treatment goals, and lifestyle strategies.
Curious how to integrate rtCGM into your practice and boost your impact on diabetes care? The free accredited course “Leveraging rtCGM Technology to Enhance the Pharmacist’s Impact on Diabetes Care” walks you through how it works, the benefits and challenges, and practical tips for initiating patient conversations.
Pharmacists completing the course earn 2.0 CEUs from CCCEP and 1.0 credit from OPQ—all while learning a tool that can make a real difference in patient outcomes.
