Title: PCDS - CGM Modules - Module 1

Q1

Q: As a person’s glucose rises after a meal, which of these is likely to be true?
- Their interstitial glucose level is likely to be lower than their blood glucose (correct)
- Their interstitial and blood glucose levels should be similar
- Their interstitial glucose level is likely to be higher than their blood glucose
Feedback (0 to 90%): Glucose enters the bloodstream first, and is then absorbed into interstitial fluid. For this reason, interstitial glucose readings may lag a few minutes behind capillary blood glucose readings.
Feedback (91 to 100%): Correct

Q2

Q: Which of these people would be eligible for CGM in England and Wales? (Select all that apply)
- A 17-year-old with type 1 diabetes (correct)
- A 67-year-old with type 1 diabetes (correct)
- An adult with type 2 diabetes on oral diabetes medications only, with hypoglycaemia unawareness
- An adult with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections with hypoglycaemia unawareness (correct)
- An adult with a learning disability and type 2 diabetes on basal insulin only, who is unable to reliably self-monitor and needs assistance from their carer (correct)
- An adult with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections who has had repeated episodes of severe hypoglycaemia (correct)
Feedback (0 to 90%): ❌NICE guidance for type 1 diabetes recommends CGM is offered to all patients. Guidance for type 2 diabetes recommends offering CGM to anyone who needs assistance from a carer or HCP to monitor their glucose, or who is on multiple daily insulin injections
Feedback (91 to 100%): Correct
