(P627) CGM Telemetry Trends in the Treatment of Diabetes in the Medically Underserved Community

The use of CGM is slowly becoming a mainstream standard of care for diabetes management. This poster discusses a project where persons with diabetes (PWD) at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Des Moines, IA, were asked to enroll in a pilot project to support the person with diabetes in utilizing data from CGM to manage their diabetes. Persons who reported their data in a cloud-based platform were included. The PWD was called on a weekly to bi-weekly basis if their target in range (TIR) percentage was below 70%. The internal medicine resident physician would interview the person and identify areas for re-education or medication therapy needs. Education on lifestyle/behavioral changes and medication therapy titration was provided. The internal medicine resident physicians worked closely with the CDCES in the clinic to provide the services needed by the PWD. PWDs who received this service showed improvement in blood glucose management and overall diabetes management. Implementation of this service is needed in the FQHC population and will continue. Future directions for this program include: sustainability of the service, addressing social determinants of health, especially health literacy and numeracy skills.
