The Refreshed Edition has been updated with the latest research, evidence-based recommendations, and practical tools to support clinical practice. This comprehensive online certificate program covers key diabetes technologies, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), remote glucose monitoring, insulin pumps, and connected insulin pens. Participants will learn best practices for implementing these tools and how recent advances have expanded physician associate’s ability to monitor and manage diabetes. The course also highlights how technology helps patients better understand glycemic trends and engage in more active self-management.

Institutional Pricing and Group Discounts (5+ licenses) are available for AACE Certificate Courses.
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify key features of current diabetes technologies and explain their impact on patient outcomes.
- Explain how advances in diabetes technology improve physician associates’ ability to monitor and manage diabetes.
- Apply knowledge of diabetes technologies to interpret glycemic trends and support patient self-management.
- Differentiate traditional insulin pens from smart pens and smart caps.
- Describe continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), including how they work, available types, and key benefits and limitations.
- Plan and conduct effective patient visits that incorporate CGM data through clinical software integration for real-time glucose review.
- Summarize diabetes technologies that support real-time glucose monitoring and insulin-delivery decision-making.
The primary target audience includes Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists.
The secondary target audience is Endocrinologists and Other Clinicians who treat endocrine conditions.
