Course Description

Advances in diabetes management have resulted in the development of sensor-based glucose monitoring technologies that help people with diabetes achieve optimal glycemic control. Familiarizing clinicians with sensor-based glucose monitoring technologies and data interpretation will help to increase knowledge and understanding, supporting clinicians in recommending it to patients, and optimizing its use in clinical practice.

This program reviews the use of time in range (TIR) to facilitate interpretation and understanding of sensor-based glucose monitoring data to inform therapeutic and behavioural interventions for improved diabetes care.


This program has received an unrestricted educational grant or in-kind support from Abbott Diabetes Care.

Learning Objective(s)

Upon completion of this continuing education program, participants will be better able to:

  • Describe the benefits of using time in range
    (TIR) in addition to A1C for improving diabetes management
