- Review counseling pointers to assist our patients with diabetes use this technology effectively
At the completion of this activity, the Pharmacy Technician will be able to:

- Differentiate between intermittently scanned CGMs and real-time CGMS
- Review the sensor quantity needed for a given days supply (i.e., how many sensors will a patient need per 30 days) and additional supplies that may be needed for CGMs commonly dispensed from community pharmacies
