Continuous Glucose monitoring

Does anyone use CGM in the inpatient setting? We’ve heard that the FDA has temporarily approved inpatient CGM use during Covid pandemic. If so, what department does the CGM fall under?

My understanding is that CGM does not fall under CLIA because a biological sample is not removed for the body for testing. In our system there has been no lab/POC involvement with CGM.

Hello Mary,

I don't know if these specific questions will be answered on the webinar, of if you might have the chance to ask your questions to subject matter experts during the presentation. It is not a widely used practice to utilize these results from a CGM instead of collecting samples for glucose monitoring. There are two distinct schools of thought, one that supports the use for inpatients and one that will not touch them on inpatients. 

Hope this helps,
Jeanne
