Empowering Patients. Supporting Providers. Enhancing Diabetes Care.
​
Project Overview
The Continuous Glucose Management (CGM) Project represents a patient-centered approach to improving diabetes care. By addressing common challenges in CGM usage, such as interpreting data and navigating educational resources, we developed accessible tools to empower both patients and healthcare providers.

How to read my AGP video
This project was driven by human-centred design principles and collaboration:
-
Co-Design with Stakeholders: Input from patients, diabetes educators, and physicians.
-
User Journey Mapping: Identified key pain points from first-time sensor application to advanced CGM usage.
-
Iterative Testing: Refined tools through real-world feedback to ensure clarity, usability, and effectiveness.
Key Challenges Addressed
-
Patients: Struggled with interpreting glucose trends and overwhelmed by existing materials.
-
Providers: Limited time to educate patients effectively during appointments.
-
Accessibility: Diverse patient needs require multi-modal resources.
Impact
By simplifying education and standardizing tools, the CGM Project aims to:
-
Boost patient confidence in using CGM devices.
-
Enhance provider-patient communication.
-
Improve diabetes management outcomes through better engagement with glucose data.
Who Benefits?
-
Healthcare Providers: Physicians, diabetes educators, and care teams across Canada.
-
Patients: A user-friendly approach to mastering CGM for improved self-management.
