Abstract

The annual Virtual Hospital Diabetes Meeting was hosted by the Diabetes Technology Society on April 14 and 15, 2023, with the goal of reviewing the progress made in the hospital use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Meeting topics included (1) Nursing Issues, Protocols, Order Sets, and Staff Education for Using CGMs, (2) Implementing CGM Programs for Use in the Wards, (3) Quality Metrics and Financial Implications of CGMs in the Hospital, (4) CGMs in the Critical Care Setting, (5) Special Situations: Labor/Delivery and Hemodialysis, (6) Research Session on CGMs in the Hospital, (7) Starting a CGM on Hospitalized Patients, (8) Automated Insulin Delivery Systems in the Hospital, (9) CGMs in Children, (10) Data Integration of CGMs for Inpatient Use and Telemetry, (11) Accuracy of CGMs/Comparison with Point-of-care Blood Glucose Testing, and (12) Discharge Planning with CGMs. Outcome data as well as shared collective real-life experiences were reviewed, and expert recommendations for CGM implementation were formulated.
