Kidney Week Early 2025 Program - Diabetes Management for the Nephrology Care Team: New Technology and New Drugs-CGM Sensor Application

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Catherine Leet introduces a hands-on section on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor application for Dexcom and Abbott Libre users. She reviews how CGMs work (filament in interstitial fluid sending data to a transmitter and phone app), notes expected lag time, and shares travel tips: most can pass metal detectors; Dexcom G7 can go through body scanners while Libre should not, and users can request visual inspection. She explains app requirements (Bluetooth, notifications) and features (real-time readings, trend arrows, event logging, data sharing). She then guides site selection and step-by-step insertion, pairing, and warm-up/start procedures for each brand.
