Introduction to Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS)

This is a learning module that is part of the updated CGM microcredential. It is one of three modules that make up the CGM microcredential and serves as a prerequisite for the other two modules.
If you have completed the earlier CGM microcredential, you are eligible to enrol in the CGM Refresher Microcredential, which includes the latest updates, advancements, and awards a digital badge.

This module provides a foundational understanding of CGM sensor insertion, device setup, integration with insulin pumps and smart devices, and practical strategies for incorporating CGMs into daily diabetes management.
It covers CGM technology, with a focus on systems available in Australia, including those subsidised through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).

Who Should Enrol?
This course is designed specifically for Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDEs) who work in diverse settings—clinics, hospitals, community environments, and private practice—across rural, remote, and metropolitan Australia. Whether you’re supporting individuals new to CGMS or helping advanced users optimise their experience, this module provides essential knowledge to enhance your professional practice.

This course is designed for you to complete at your own pace. We recommend that you allow at least 2 hours to complete learning content and activities. 
This activity has been accredited for 2 CPD points in Category 1 upon successful completion of relevant assessment activities.

Assessment
At the end of the course, you must complete the assessment activities and achieve 80%  to gain your certificate.

What You’ll Learn
By the end of this module, you will be able to:

-Describe the Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems (CGMS) available in Australia 
-Identify the components required to run a CGM device
-Identify the similarities and differences between CGMS
-Describe the eligibility criteria and application process for partially and fully subsidised CGMS.
-Be able to assist people living with diabetes by providing them information so they can choose the most appropriate CGMS
