(P607) Impact of CGM Simulation on Confidence, Knowledge, and Prescribing Practices of Physicians

With the continued improvement in CGM technology, the utilization of the devices to assist people with diabetes in controlling their blood glucose has drastically increased in recent years. CGMs provide valuable information that clinicians can use to help people with diabetes manage their medications. There appears to be a lack of physician knowledge and confidence regarding advising their patients on CGMs.This poster reviews a project involving a 10-day CGM simulation that included a pre-survey, an education session, and a post-simulation-completion survey. The project demonstrated that CGM training and simulation for general internal medicine primary care providers helped to improve confidence, prescribing behaviors, and knowledge. Authors: Michael R.
