Real Stories, Real Data, Real Results – Using Your CGM to Improve Time in Range

In this video on understanding your ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) report, pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Amy Criego from the International Diabetes Center, uses real-world AGP examples to show how small steps and manageable goals can lead to more Time in Range.

In this video, Dr. Criego shares real-world AGP reports from three people with diabetes:

Lee is a 20-year-old who has had type 1 diabetes for seven years. He currently uses a blood glucose monitor and insulin injections and his A1C is usually high. He struggles with consistent monitoring of his glucose levels, especially due to an unpredictable schedule.

Joe is a 17-year-old who has had type 1 diabetes for 11 years. He has been using a CGM for a long time and is working to increase his independence with his diabetes management.

Jill is a 10-year-old who has lived with type 1 diabetes since the age of two. She uses a CGM, and though her parents currently give her insulin injections, the family is interested in exploring insulin pumps to see how they could help her diabetes management.
