This educational program provides general practitioners with an up-to-date overview of diabetes management, with a focus on the clinical application of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology, including the Freestyle Libre 2 Plus system. Participants will gain insights into how CGM can enhance glycaemic control, support patient engagement, and prevent diabetes-related complications.
The session will also cover the latest updates in diabetes diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, and patient-centred care, equipping GPs with practical tools to optimise outcomes across diverse patient populations. Delivered by experienced clinicians, this program combines evidence-based education with real-world case examples to help participants integrate emerging technologies and treatment strategies into everyday practice.
By completing this activity, participants will be able to:
-
Explain how CGM technology, including Freestyle Libre 2 Plus, functions and benefits diabetes management.
-
Identify appropriate patients for CGM use and understand funding and access pathways.
-
Interpret CGM data to adjust therapy, identify trends, and prevent hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.
-
Apply the latest diabetes management updates in clinical practice to enhance patient outcomes.
-
Communicate effectively with patients about the role of CGM in supporting self-management and long-term control.
-
Many GPs have limited familiarity with emerging CGM technologies such as the Freestyle Libre 2 Plus and how to integrate them into diabetes management.
-
There is a knowledge gap in interpreting CGM data and applying it to adjust therapy and prevent complications.
-
GPs often require clearer understanding of patient eligibility, funding pathways, and device access under current diabetes programs.
-
The growing prevalence of diabetes highlights the need for up-to-date knowledge of clinical guidelines and best-practice management strategies.
-
Enhanced confidence in discussing and recommending CGM supports more personalised and proactive diabetes care.
-
Gain up-to-date knowledge of diabetes management, including emerging treatments and technologies.
-
Understand the clinical role and functionality of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems such as Freestyle Libre 2 Plus.
-
Develop skills to interpret CGM data and apply insights to optimise patient therapy.
-
Build confidence in identifying suitable patients for CGM use and navigating funding or access pathways.
-
Strengthen ability to integrate CGM insights into holistic, evidence-based diabetes care within general practice.
