Real-Time Real Talk | Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Education for Healthcare Providers – Details, episodes & analysis

Pregnant Patients are Empowered by Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): How Biosensor Technology Supports Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Prediabetes, and Gestational Diabetes How does real-time data from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) reshape how we talk about food, exercise, and metabolic health Exploring how CGM - and tools like Dexcom and Stelo are empowering people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and even prediabetes to better understand their glucose patterns and take charge of their diabetes management is host Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM, joined by Rachel Stahl Salzman, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes education specialist at Weill Cornell.  Rachel shares practical insights from her work in diabetes treatment, including with pregnant patients managing gestational diabetes. She also discusses her recent study presented at Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), where CGM use helped women with gestational diabetes feel more confident and in control of their care.  From glucose tracking to blood sugar monitoring, this episode explores how biosensor technology supports more personalized, effective diabetes management - not just for patients, but for endocrinologists and primary care providers too. Whether you’re focused on diabetes treatment, nutrition, or simply curious about the future of diabetes technology, this episode of Real-Time Real Talk reveals how CGM is making care more precise, proactive, and powerful.

How can Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) help people with type 2 diabetes feel more empowered and in control of their health? Exploring compelling new research presented at the Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) conference is host Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM, and guest Sim Singh, Senior Director of Behavioral and Translational Science at Dexcom.   Together, they unpack findings from a 30-day study of Dexcom G7 use in people with type 2 diabetes, including those not on insulin. The results show significant improvements in glucose tracking, behavioral shifts like better nutrition and increased physical activity, and enhanced metabolic health and confidence - especially among CGM-naive users. Sim also shares insights from a Canadian trial and discusses how CGM is transforming diabetes education, not only for patients but for endocrinologists and primary care providers as well.   Whether it’s supporting blood sugar monitoring, enabling personalized diabetes treatment, or simply helping people better understand their glucose patterns, this conversation highlights how CGM and biosensor technology are reshaping diabetes management - for people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and even prediabetes.

In this episode of Dexcom’s Real Time Real Talk, we’re speaking to Tandem’s Medical Director, Jordan Pinkster. Jordan is a pediatric endocrinologist by training, but has been involved in clinical trials and the development of automated insulin delivery products for many years. Our second guest is Kristy Castillo, the clinical solutions manager at Tandem who is also a nurse, diabetes educator and  lives with type one diabetes herself. We’ll discuss Tandem products including the sleek new number 1 one rated AID system, the t:slim X2 insulin pump, we’ll talk about how it integrates with the Dexcom G6 and G7 and Kristy also shares her first-hand experience of using it. Finally we’ll discuss the advantages of connecting your AID system to your smartphone where possible, not just for those with diabetes but also for health care professionals.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.

This is our third and final episode which was recorded at ADA – The American Diabetes Association conference held in San Diego earlier this year.  In this episode, host Cher Pastore speaks to Dr Maggie Crawford, senior manager of translational and behavioral data science at Dexcom, to discuss findings from a few studies Dr Crawford was presenting at ADA. The first study, titled "Exploring the Impact of CGM on Perceived Control and Non-Intensive Insulin Treated Type Two Diabetes", explored how CGM use influenced individuals' perceptions of control over their diabetes. Participants monitored their glucose levels with Dexcom's CGM system over a three month period with no behavioural support. The second study investigated the impact of Dexcom's G6 real-time CGM on glucose metrics, self-reported body weight, and psychosocial health among customers living with type two diabetes and taking basal insulin. Maggie has a PhD public health, focusing on health behavior, and also earned a masters in public health in epidemiology. Maggie's personal and career goal is to help people understand their physiology and behaviors to help them feel in control of managing their health. She spends her free time surfing, backcountry skiing, climbing, running, and mountain biking-- and playing with her two vivacious babies. Her greatest accomplishment has been birthing two amazing humans 18 months apart while managing type 1 diabetes.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.

In the latest episode of Real Time Real Talk,  we engage in an enlightening conversation on the progressive strides in diabetes management with our special guest, Dr. Nicholas Argento. With personal experience spanning over five decades of living with type one diabetes and leveraging his professional expertise in diabetes technology, Dr. Argento details the indispensable role that CGM plays in his life from diagnosis in 1968, the evolution of glucose monitoring, ie. From insulin to now integrating CGM with an automated insulin delivery devices and what the future could hold. In this insightful discussion, Dr. Argento also offers his first-hand experience with the Dexcom G6 device, drawing parallels between CGM and a personal GPS for glucose. He elaborates on the downside of the traditional finger sticks method of monitoring blood glucose levels and champions the CGM as a significant milestone in diabetes management. He also shares actionable strategies for dietary adjustments and lifestyle modification, emphasizing the link between diet, light exercises, and effective blood glucose level management. This is a fantastic episode with great takeaways, not just for those living with diabetes but also health care professionals.  This episode was recoded at ADA - The American Diabetes Association in July 2023.Real-time real talk is intended for healthcare professionals in the US.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.

In this month’s episode of Dexcom’s ‘Real Time Real Talk', host Cher Pastore talks to Beta Bionic’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Steven Russell about the iLet Bionic Pancreas - the revolutionary automated insulin delivery system from ADA - The American Diabetes Association held in San Diego. The iLet has been years in the making with Dr Ed Damiano, Beta Bionic’s founder starting this journey when his son was diagnosed with T1 diabetes aged just 11 months, to back in May when Beta Bionics have announced FDA Clearance and Commercialization of the iLet. Founded in 2015 explicitly to be a force for good for the diabetes community, the iLet ticks that box as it reduces the need to make decisions about your diabetes management – as it makes the decisions for you. No more carb counting, carb ratios, correction factors or pre-set Basal rates, How does it do that? By using a few algorithms: Basal, corrections and meal dose, and all you need to do to get started is to put your body weight in! Topics discussed in this episode include the journey of how the iLet came to be and how it differs from other automated insulin delivery systems in that it solves two notable challenges that have long burdened both type 1 diabetics and healthcare providers — carbohydrate counting and pre-bolusing. Dr Russell also discusses some of the findings from the extensive pivotal trials that took place, how the iLet is working with the Dexcom G6, some findings from the targeted initial launch and the roadmap Beta Bionics are planning for the future of the iLet. Whether you’re using the iLet, want to use it or are a Health Care Provider, this episode is not one to miss out.Real-time real talk is intended for healthcare professionals in the US.Disclaimer: This podcast is not approved for CME credit.
