About the CPD course
Good skin preparation is an essential component of applying a CGM sensor. This course will define best practice guidance on preparation of the skin prior to placing a CGM sensor; discuss the choices for placement of sensors; and provide recommendations for good skin care during sensor use.
At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power, we’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.
