ENDOCRINOLOGY

STEPWISE APPROACH TO CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING INTERPRETATION FOR INTERNISTS AND FAMILY PHYSICIANS

Featuring: Grazia Aleppo, MD, Emily D. Szmuilowicz, MD

Episode Summary

Marked pregnancy-induced insulin resistance may require that patient receive high-dose large-volume insulin injections. However, these types of injections may reduce the therapeutic effectiveness of the insulin.
​
In this episode of the Better Edge podcast, Grazia Aleppo, MD, and Emily D. Szmuilowicz, MD, discuss their recent research published in Postgraduate Medicine. Their research proposes a new treatment regimen for pregnancy-induced insulin resistance that is guided by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This aims to give internists and family medicine physicians a simplified and consistent approach to CGM interpretation that can be easily implemented in a brief office visit. 
Grazia Aleppo, MD, is a professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, director of the Northwestern Medicine Diabetes Training and Education Program and an expert in diabetes research and clinical care.​
