Why Continuous Glucose Monitoring?

Sub-optimal blood glucose control has been shown to be a factor in MANY health outcomes (i.e. fertility outcomes, cardiovascular disease, cancer risk etc).

For those of us that graduated a while ago, there are not many opportunities to learn about new technology in the medical field and then further to that, learning how it can help a patient in a naturopathic practice. This was a comfortable great webinar about very popular tools that every ND should be aware of. The pro's, the con's and how it can help those stubborn patients who need to see data to motivate them.
