Consideration should be given to potential challenges when selecting and initiating continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in people of different ages. From the viewpoint of the use of CGM usage across age groups, this session will review ways that attendees can help all individuals, whether young or older, overcome these challenges and explore the importance of timing and potential choices related to CGM initiation to support long-term success.
