His personal journey started as a retail pharmacist just trying to help diabetic patients. What he learned over the last decade is that teaching patients about the impact of diet, medications and lifestyle is the most valuable tool for improving health outcomes.He wanted to use his background as a pharmacist to fill that need for patient education. Unlike pharmacy school, he now has evidence-based information at his fingertips. And for the curious-minded, there are several clever ways to discover where conflicts of interest in the government, food, and pharmaceutical industries have shaped our misunderstanding of chronic disease. On a personal level, he found the ketogenic diet to be a powerful tool in helping him drop over fifty pounds and fuel his newly found passion for the watersport, SUP (stand-up paddle). He was able to achieve this goal and significantly improve various health markers. This personal dietary experiment added passion to his career transition from a traditional retail pharmacist to an educator and coach. Before he knew it, he was offering diabetes classes and leading a weekly support group. With recent advances in wearable technologies like CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and smart watches, patients can get important feedback in real-time regarding the consequences of their choices. His role is to facilitate learning as they navigate their own personal trek back to better health. https://www.unscriptedpharmacist.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Cher Pastore, MS, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM and guest David Doriguzzi, a Physician Assistant in endocrinology and internal medicine explore how Dexcom G7 and Stelo are reshaping diabetes management for people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes. Together, they break down how Dexcom's portfolio provides real-time glucose monitoring, reveals patterns invisible through traditional blood sugar monitoring, and inspire meaningful behavior change. David shares patient stories that demonstrate how CGM is helping individuals recognize how food, activity and medications impact their diabetes management. He also explains how CGM empowers providers to tailor diabetes education and medication strategies, especially in primary care settings with limited access to endocrinologists. Whether you're managing type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or on the journey to prevent it, this conversation showcases how diabetes technology like CGM can simplify treatment decisions, personalize care, and ultimately make an impact for both patients and providers.
Episode 197: Continuous Glucose MonitoringWritten by William Zeng, MSIII, and Chris Kim, MSIII. University of Southern California.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Will: IntroToday we're exploring Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or CGM. We'll break down what CGM is, who benefits, how to access it, options available for our patients, the pros and cons, and a few final reflections on where this technology is heading. Chris, So what is CGM?Chris:Continuous glucose monitoring refers to the use of a small wearable sensor placed just under the skin to track glucose levels in real time throughout the day and night. These sensors measure glucose in the interstitial fluid and transmit readings to a receiver or smartphone at regular intervals, allowing for 24/7 glucose trend tracking. Will:CGM has been shown to improve glycemic control, increase “time in range,” and reduce hypoglycemia. Let's review some evidence.Chris:A 2023 meta-analysis published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics reported a mean Hemoglobin A1c reduction of 0.43% across multiple trials. Will:In people with Type 1 diabetes, the IMPACT and DIAMOND studies showed sustained improvement in Hemoglobin A1c and hypoglycemia reduction over 6–12 months. CGM use in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes patients also resulted in significant benefits, including reduced variability and fewer severe glucose excursions. Chris:Clinically and economically, CGMs help prevent long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Chris, What patients specifically benefit the most from CGM?Will: CGMs are most commonly indicated for people with Type 1 diabetes and for those with Type 2 diabetes who are using intensive insulin regimens—typically defined as multiple daily injections or insulin pump therapy. Chris:And what are the qualifications in order to be covered by insurance?Will:In the United States, Medicare covers CGM as durable medical equipment for qualifying patients, and coverage requires a prescription, documentation of insulin use, and regular follow-up. Most major private insurers—including Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Kaiser—follow similar guidelines. Coverage is generally granted for patients with Type 1 diabetes or insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes who monitor glucose at least four times daily or use an insulin pump. Chris:Some plans require demonstration of hypoglycemia unawareness or frequent glucose variability. For patients not on insulin, OTC CGMs may be an option, but coverage is typically not provided. That said, new FDA decisions are allowing over-the-counter access to CGMs like Abbott's FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom's Stelo, expanding availability for lifestyle or preventive purposes.Will:[There are a lot of products on the market. Which are the main products and how are they different?]Chris:The three main players in the CGM space are Dexcom, Abbott (FreeStyle Libre), and Senseonics (Eversense), each with unique offerings.Let's start with Dexcom. Dexcom G7 is a real-time CGM system approved for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It combines a sensor and transmitter into one compact wearable patch worn on the abdomen or upper arm for up to 10 days. It updates glucose readings every 5 minutes and connects directly to a smartphone or Apple Watch via Bluetooth. Dexcom also integrates with insulin pumps like Tandem's t:slim and the Omnipod 5. Data can be shared with providers through Dexcom Clarity, which integrates into electronic medical records (EMRs) like Epic. OTC access is not yet available for DEXCOM G7, but a new non-prescription product called Dexcom Stelo is being rolled out in 2025, targeting non-insulin-using Type 2 patients. Dexcom Stelo will also offer 15-day wear, smartphone integration, and factory calibration. The estimated OTC cost for Dexcom Stelo is expected to be around $99 for a 15-day sensor, or about $198/month.Will:$200! Abbott FreeStyle Libre comes in several versions. The Libre 2 offers 14-day wear and requires users to scan the sensor with their smartphone or reader to retrieve a glucose value. It has optional real-time alarms for high and low readings and transmits data to LibreView, which can integrate with most EMRs. Libre 3 is a real-time CGM with 1-minute interval updates, Bluetooth transmission, and a slimmer profile. Libre sensors are widely used in primary care and available OTC for non-insulin users. Libre 2 sensors cost approximately $70–$85 for a 14-day sensor, while Libre 3 is slightly higher, around $85–$100 per sensor—totaling about $140–$200/month out of pocket without insurance.Chris:Senseonics Eversense E3 is the only implantable CGM on the market. It involves a minor in-office procedure to insert the sensor under the skin of the upper arm, which lasts up to 180 days (and a newer version, Eversense 365, lasts up to one year). A removable transmitter worn on top of the skin sends data every 5 minutes to a mobile app and vibrates for alerts. It requires 1–2 calibrations per day using a traditional fingerstick meter. It integrates with Eversense DMS software for physician monitoring. The total cost for Eversense depends on the insertion procedure and insurance, but cash pay for the full 6-month system is estimated at $2,400–$3,000, or about $400–$500/month including follow-up visits.Will:Additional lower-cost CGMs such as the Medtrum A6 TouchCare are available internationally and in select U.S. pilot programs. These devices offer 14-day wear, smartphone syncing, and daily calibration, but are not yet FDA-approved for wide use and lack full EMR integration.Chris:In terms of performance and value, Dexcom G7 offers the most advanced real-time feedback and integration, making it ideal for those on insulin pumps or needing tight control. Will:FreeStyle Libre offers the best affordability and convenience, especially for non-insulin users or those who prefer not to deal with constant alerts. Eversense offers a niche but compelling option for people who want to avoid frequent sensor changes. Chris, [Are there any downsides or risks that patients should be aware of before trying out CGM?]Chris:CGMs are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they do have limitations. Dexcom G7 has a known failure mode where sensors sometimes fail prematurely, often before the full 10-day duration. Some users have reported “signal loss” errors or random disconnections, especially when switching between phone models or operating systems. There are occasional reports of inaccurate highs or lows due to compression during sleep or dehydration. Though the G7 is factory-calibrated, abrupt changes in hydration or blood flow can affect its readings.Will:FreeStyle Libre systems, particularly Libre 2, require the user to scan the sensor to retrieve data unless alerts are enabled. These devices may be affected by vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which can falsely elevate glucose readings, and they do not currently allow for automated insulin delivery integration. Some Libre 2 users have noted adhesive-related rashes or spontaneous detachment. Libre 3, while more advanced, still may lose Bluetooth connection intermittently, particularly if the phone is out of range or the app is not running in the background.Chris:Senseonics Eversense carries procedural risks due to its implantable nature. Minor scarring or infection at the insertion site has been reported. The transmitter must be worn during waking hours to provide alerts, and users report anxiety over losing the transmitter since data logging is interrupted without it. Calibration is still required, which adds to daily tasks. Additionally, the sensor does not communicate with insulin pumps or closed-loop systems.Will:All CGMs can cause mild skin irritation from adhesive, particularly in users with sensitive skin. Alert fatigue is another consideration, as frequent low- or high-glucose warnings may cause stress or lead users to silence notifications entirely. Finally, relying solely on CGM without periodic fingerstick confirmation in symptomatic scenarios can be a risk, especially during rapid glucose changes.Chris:Conclusion[***] Continuous glucose monitors have reshaped the way we manage diabetes, offering unprecedented insight into glucose trends, diet responses, and insulin timing. While CGMs are not flawless, the technology continues to evolve. Will: If your patient is on insulin or struggling with glucose variability, consider whether CGM is right for your patient. For those not using insulin, consider newer OTC options like FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom Stelo, which offer accessible entry points without the need for prescriptions. As AI integration, longer sensor life, and non-invasive monitoring enter the market, CGM will only become more useful.Dr Arreaza: Personal experience with CGMs. I do not have diabetes, but I have a strong family history of diabetes (including father, 2 grandmas, and about 15 uncles, aunts, and cousins.)I wanted to try it so I could teach my patients about CGM. My first experience was with Freestyle Libre 2: Pros: Painless placement, easy to use, scanning with phone was easier than fingersticks.Cons: Required some assembling to be placed, mild discomfort at night, and nighttime alarms.Dexcom G7:Pros: No need for scanning, feels more stable in your armCons: High readings (had to calibrate for a more accurate reading)Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

In this episode of Quality Matters, Dr. Richard Bergenstal, Executive Director of the International Diabetes Center, joins host Andy Reynolds to explore the evolving landscape of diabetes care—from the legacy of A1C to the promise of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).Rich shares lessons from decades of clinical leadership, research and quality improvement, including his advisory role in NCQA's updated Diabetes Recognition Program. He explains how CGM, new metrics like the Glucose Management Indicator and a focus on patient experience are reshaping how we define and deliver high-quality diabetes care.Listen to this episode to discover:Why the A1C Era Was Just the Beginning. Learn how A1C transformed diabetes care—and why it's no longer enough. Richl explains why A1C is a measurement tool, not a management tool, and how CGM fills that gap.The Rise of CGM and What It Means for Quality. Understand why CGM use has surged sixfold in two years, and how it empowers patients with real-time data, alerts and confidence. Discover how CGM metrics like Time in Range and GMI are becoming the new standard.The Power of Visualizing Glucose Data. Explore how tools like the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) help clinicians and patients detect patterns, personalize care and move from data to action.Why Quality Measures Must Evolve. Learn how NCQA's updated Diabetes Recognition Program adds HEDIS measures to reflect contemporary care standards and whole-person health.What's Next in Diabetes Care. Hear Dr. Rich's optimistic, collaborative vision for the next decade of helping people who have diabetes live better lives.This conversation is essential for quality leaders, clinicians and health plan professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve in diabetes care, digital health and patient-centered quality improvement.Key Quote:The A1C set up the need for the next technology. Why did finger stick glucose come about? Because the average A1C said, “You need to do better.” But nobody wants to poke their finger multiple times a day. So A1C led to finger sticks. Finger sticks led to CGM and now CGM has changed the dialogue. The A1C era had its role, but you look for the next thing to get to the next level. That's what I see CGM as. -Rich Bergenstal, MDTime Stamps:(02:14) The Era of A1C(04:22) What is Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)(06:43) Bridging the A1C and CGM Eras(10:45) Addressing Skepticism and Myths about CGM(18:37) The Future of Diabetes Care Dive Deeper:NCQA's Diabetes Recognition ProgramRecent Quality News About DiabetesConnect with Rich Bergenstal

Welcome back to another episode of Real-Time Real Talk where this week, host Cher Pastore is joined by Dr Thomas Grace and Dr. William Polonsky to discuss the power of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in managing type 2 diabetes.Continuous Glucose Monitoring has revolutionized the management of diabetes. At its core, diabetes management is about balancing blood glucose levels to avoid the serious complications associated with hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia. CGM technology provides both patients and healthcare professionals with real-time data on glucose levels, making it a powerful tool in this balancing act.In this episode Dr Grace and Dr Polonsky share their insights from their research, highlighting significant reductions in A1C levels and improvements in patient outcomes with the use of CGM. They highlight the clinical benefits of CGM for managing glucose levels and making informed dietary and lifestyle choices. Additionally, they discuss the psychological effects of CGM including increased engagement, empowerment, and reduced anxiety. Dr Grace also introduces an exciting new product from Dexcom called Stelo, which will be an over the counter option for patients with type two diabetes (not on insulin), meaning that if your doctor is unwilling to write you a prescription for a Dexcom G7, you yourself can go to www.stelo.com and see if an over the counter product is appropriate for you.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Empowered Nutrition Podcast, we are joined by Lily Nichols, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, and researcher known for her evidence-based approach to prenatal nutrition. Lily is the founder of the Institute for Prenatal NutritionⓇ and co-founder of the Women's Health Nutrition Academy. She has authored several bestselling books on real food nutrition that have influenced prenatal health worldwide. In this discussion, Lily shares insights into the relationship between insulin resistance and gestational diabetes, emphasizing the importance of managing blood sugar before, during, and after pregnancy. She also provides empowering strategies to reduce long-term health risks and ensure optimal outcomes for both mothers and their babies. Episode Highlights Insulin Resistance Preconception: Lily explains that insulin resistance may already exist before pregnancy, contributing to the development of gestational diabetes. Continuous Glucose Monitoring Study: A study discussed by Lily reveals that women who developed gestational diabetes showed higher blood sugar levels from the beginning of pregnancy, even before typical testing at 24–28 weeks. The Importance of Preconception Blood Sugar Management: Lily emphasizes that managing blood sugar before pregnancy, through proper diet, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments, can significantly reduce the risk of gestational diabetes. Gestational Diabetes and Long-Term Health: Women who develop GD are at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes later in life. Lily describes GD as a "warning light" and stresses the importance of lifestyle changes post-pregnancy to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The Role of Key Nutrients: Lily mentions the importance of nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, and inositol in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Empowering Women: Rather than stigmatizing gestational diabetes, Lily highlights how knowledge of one's blood sugar control can be empowering, leading to proactive health decisions and better long-term outcomes. Gestational Diabetes Resources: Lily shares information about her professional training programs and the network she has built to ensure women have access to high-quality clinical care.

"When we are given a prescriptive diet and follow this one exact thing, it's really hard for many of us to actually stick to that long term. But when we see our personal data and how our body responds, it's much more meaningful and it's a lot more sustainable long term." - Kara Collier $50 Off NutriSense The Nutrisense CGM Program pairs powerful data and expert guidance to set you on the path to improved metabolic health. Analyze in real-time how your glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep. CGMs can help you take the guesswork out of understanding your blood glucose levels.

SAVE $50 OFF SUBSCRIPTIONS In This Episode, Kara Collier Uncovers: [01:30] Healthy Nutrition Mindset Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense What inspired Kara to become a nutritionist. Why the "clear your plate" mentality doesn't help children have a healthy approach to food. How attaching 'good' and 'bad' labels to foods creates a feeling of punishment or reward. We should educate children about how food benefits us and where it comes from. [07:35] How to Teach Children About Nutrition How parents can teach their children about healthy eating. Why we don't listen to the natural signals of our bodies. Restrictive diets are often unhealthy. [12:05] NutriSense Technology Why most people don't realize when their glucose level drops or spikes. How NutriSense technology helps people understand their body signals. Why instant data aids us to enhance our intuition and motivate us. [16:50] Modern Lifestyle Works Against Human Biology Why we need technology for health optimization. How the vast majority of people can benefit from using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Why we're biologically driven to not spend energy. How the food system works against the human biology. Why our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to live healthy. [23:35] Continuous Glucose Monitoring Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How Josh found out what foods are not good for him through data tracking. Everyone is a unique individual and reacts differently to different foods. How mindfulness around food helps us make empowered choices. Why following our own data is more sustainable long-term than following a specific diet. [28:40] Nutrient Timing How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults How exercise can improve glucose levels and metabolic health. We store glucose molecules in our skeleton muscles as glycogen. How regular exercise creates better communication patterns within the body. [33:05] Understanding Glucose How intense exercise like CrossFit creates a glucose spike to create energy. Why consistency ensures the best results. Early stages of insulin resistance start in the muscle. The importance of strength training. [37:05] Is Fruit Healthy? How lactic acid is produced in the muscles. Why juicing fruit and eating too much fruit can be bad for us. Pairing fruit with protein and fat after a workout. How misinformation is being spread on social media. [41:00] Orthorexia: How to Live in Harmony with Food How Josh struggled with overeating and starving himself when he was younger. Why we need to develop a long-term healthy relationship with food. How CGM helped Kara with mental blocks around food. We can take healthy eating to the extreme and develop Orthorexia. How Kara was chasing the dopamine reward through food. [47:10] Finding Compassion for Yourself Our relationship to food can hold an emotional connection to our childhood. Why we first shame ourselves before we understand where we are coming from. How increasing our awareness creates an agency of choice. [51:30] How to Cultivate Awareness We have to train the mind to achieve a sustainable behavior change. How we're lacking good quality information. Everyone has the potential to gain awareness and make healthier choices for themselves. How habits become part of our identity. [58:20] Healing from Perfectionism How striving for perfection hurts us. Why NutriSense has a team of professionals who help clients optimize their eating habits. Behind perfectionism is fear. Why we need consistency more than perfection. The "all or nothing" mindset doesn't get us anywhere. [01:06:20] Food Healing Journey Why having support from friends and family has helped Kara on her health journey. Vulnerability opens up the door to healing. How emotional support is what patients need to create a positive and long-term change. [01:11:05] All or Nothing? The bridge between knowing and doing. Why rigidity and extreme discipline stop us from success. We shouldn't feel like a failure when we don't stick to our regime. How extreme ownership creates responsibility. Why people get stuck in the negative loop of guilt and shame. [01:19:10] Path of Purpose Why some men need tough discipline to start their journey of evolution. Having purpose and passion is a key component of wellness. Why Kara enjoys learning new skills and challenging herself. Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Glucose Monitoring Builds Awareness "CGM is a new metric that can reflect your health back at you. We don't have an emotional tie to a lot of our body signals so the CGM can be an unbiased way to build awareness." - Kara Collier Healthy Decisions "I don't need to eliminate everything that's bad from my life in order to be healthy. I just need to know what works for me in different situations and to make good decisions at different inflection points. People want good health, that's the thing they want to control. But we don't have to be perfect to be there. We actually just need to be consistent." - Kara Collier Become An Active Driver "The current environment is going to push you towards obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia if you become passive rather than an active driver. But when you're empowered with the right information and you make the choices to actually consistently move forward with that information, then you can be an active driver, even if the environment is working against you." - Kara Collier Links From Today's Show Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults

Embrace a healthier approach to addiction management with “Mitochondriac,” packed with NAD precursors to support your body's natural processes. Perfect for those looking to enhance energy levels and reduce dependence on sugar. https://www.mswnutrition.com/products/mitochondriac?srsltid=AfmBOorgFXMXLHhz8pM-jVSJYMd19jmdFVT3KKZi3or9ZZVEPrfJrSAD 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1.Dopamine's Role: Sugar addiction is less about the sugar itself and more about how sugar triggers dopamine release, influencing pleasure and reward pathways in the brain. 2.Community Support: Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can significantly aid in overcoming sugar cravings by fostering healthy habits and emotional support. 3.NAD+ Injections: These can recalibrate your body's response to sugar by altering brain chemistry, specifically through increasing adenosine levels which help counteract the effects of dopamine. 4.Leptin Control: Managing leptin levels can help regulate body weight and reduce the propensity towards sugar by balancing the body's internal signals for hunger and satiety. 5.Use of CGM: Implementing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices can provide real-time feedback on how different foods affect blood sugar levels, helping to manage cravings and maintain stable glucose levels.
