Educational Opportunities

The IDEA program will improve participants' understanding of glucose monitoring, report interpretations, and the use of this information to optimize therapeutic management, leading to practice transformation and increased shared decision-making.

As a result, participants will be better able to

• Discuss the limitations of A1C as a marker of diabetes control and explain the merits of evaluating time in range and hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic excursions as well as A1C
• Describe how glucose monitoring devices facilitate prevention, detection, and prompt treatment of hypoglycemia
• Discuss improved patient outcomes associated with glucose monitoring and technological advances that have improved the ease of use of these devices
• Apply recommendations for interpretation and use of standardized glucose monitoring reports

IDEA is developed in collaboration with the following organizations:

• Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES)
• American Society of Endocrine Physician Assistants (ASEPA)
• Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition
• The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust
• The diaTribe Foundation - Close Concerns
• The France Foundation (TFF)
• American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP)
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)
• International Diabetes Center (IDC)
• T1D Exchange
