Insulin in Practice Turning Glucose Insights into Safer, Smarter Care Jaybee Serrano
The podcast focuses on the transformative impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology on insulin therapy, highlighting a shift towards proactive and precision-based diabetes management. It discusses how CGM provides real-time glucose data to enhance safety and personalize insulin strategies, demonstrating clinical evidence showing improved glycemic control and reduced hypoglycemia risks. Key studies, such as the MOBA study and the GLITECH study, reveal substantial benefits of integrating CGM in insulin initiation, while addressing challenges like clinical inertia and patient hesitance. The lecture emphasizes the importance of patient engagement through innovative strategies and enhancing communication in care teams. It concludes with recommendations for maximizing the effectiveness of CGM technology in diabetes management, envisioning a future where insulin therapy is safer and more patient-centered.

If you are a General Practitioner who gets invited to dozens of webinars a month. The General Practice Clinical Sessions Podcast is designed for you.
Instead of giving up an evening with your family for a live webinar or your weekend for a conference, you can listen to it here whenever it's convenient, in half the time and while you are commuting, exercising or even walking the dog.
It's the same education, without interrupting your life.
GPs can also earn CPD hours.
Earn Educational Activity (EA) CPD without sacrificing time with your family.
Listen to your Clinical Sessions Podcasts on your commute or while you exercise. Then each week, calculate the amount of time you invest listening and count that as self claimed Educational Activities (EA).
Earn Reviewing Performance (RP) CPD without sacrificing time with your family.
After each podcast, pause for a few minutes and identify and summarise 3 key points relevant to your scope of practice.
- Identify the key clinical learnings that may be incorporated into the clinical assessment, work-up and/or management plan for appropriate patients.
- If relevant, would you change any of your management strategies for those patients identified by appropriate screening, examination and investigation.
Invest 10 minutes per podcast mentally reviewing your practice. When you listen to 6 podcasts per week, you have earned an hour of Reviewing Performance CPD you can self claim.
Remember to document your learning!
Earn Measuring Outcomes (MO) CPD without sacrificing time with your family.
To claim MO, you need:
- A baseline measurement
- A change in practice
- A re-measurement
- Reflection on the outcome
1. Identify a measurable change. After the podcast, ask:
“What will I do differently on Monday?”
Example:
- Start using a screening tool
- Change prescribing habits
- Increase documentation of a risk factor
2. Measure your baseline (quick audit). Do a small, realistic audit
Examples:
- Review last 10 patients with condition X
- % who had guideline-based management
- % with documented counselling
3. Implement the change. Apply the idea from the podcast for 2–4 weeks
- Could be as simple as a checklist, template, or reminder
4. Re-measure. Repeat the same audit:
- Same sample size
- Same criteria
5. Reflect & Document:
- What changed?
- Did outcomes improve?
- What will you keep doing?
