info_outlineGetting a CGM is, more and more, becoming a routine part of a diabetes diagnosis. But figuring out if your insurance will pay can be anything but routine. A new pilot program is recruiting pharmacists to be a big part of this process, helping educate patients about their options, even writing prescriptions. Plus, with all the talk about CGM, you may have heard about time in range. What is that and why is it inching out A1C as a gold standard measurement.
This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
