CGM Training

Expert CGM Training and Support for Better Results

If you’ve invested time, money, and energy into a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system but feel you aren’t getting the results you expected, we can help.

At IDS, we believe technology is only as effective as the person using it. Our clinical team has helped hundreds of people get better results and improved blood sugar control from their CGM.

Not only are we certified to train on every type of CGM device—we also wear them ourselves! With experience speaking and writing on CGM use at national and international levels, our team is ready to help you get the most out of your investment.

Continuous Glucose-Monitor CGM Training

Here’s how we can help you get the most out of your CGM:

  • Improve accuracy and reliability
  • Resolve sensor placement and adhesion issues
  • Use onscreen information effectively, including glucose values, trend arrows, graphs, and alerts
  • Master data downloading and set optimal alert settings
  • Learn to self-analyze data to understand insulin action, post-meal responses, basal levels, bolus timing, exercise effects, and hidden hypoglycemia
  • ...and much more!

“First time since I’ve started using a sensor that I’ve had a 24-hour period without any highs or lows. Hopefully, the first of many 24-hour periods like this. Thanks to IDS for the coaching and support to make it happen!“ – Sam W. (Durham, NC, USA)

Answers to some common questions:

All consultations are available in-person or remotely via phone or video conferencing. We start with a self-care assessment and an initial consultation to review your goals, management plan, and CGM data, then create a personalized strategy for improving your diabetes control.
Before the consultation, you’ll complete a self-care assessment packet. During the session, we’ll review your diabetes plan, set goals, provide education, establish record-keeping systems, and teach you how to transmit CGM data for future analysis.
You may schedule individual consultations as needed, or choose a retainer service that includes monthly check-ins and unlimited access to our team for questions, data reviews, and adjustments.
Our team of Certified Diabetes Educators and CGM trainers has years of experience analyzing and interpreting data from all types of continuous glucose monitors. We also wear CGMs ourselves and train on every system available.
The CGM Analysis Service involves a short interview about your current program, data transmission from your CGM, and a follow-up consultation. We provide a detailed review of patterns and trends, recommendations for fine-tuning insulin use, and training on how to interpret your own results.
The CGM Trial Service lets you test a loaner CGM system for 1–2 weeks anywhere in the U.S. It includes training on setup and use, guidance on data collection, and a follow-up session with analysis and recommendations.
We help improve accuracy and reliability, resolve sensor placement issues, optimize alerts, and teach you how to use data effectively. This includes understanding insulin action, post-meal responses, basal and bolus adjustments, exercise effects, and detecting hidden hypoglycemia.
