Sustainable CGM counseling combines pharmacist expertise, technician support, multimodal education, and policy advocacy to improve patient outcomes in diabetes care.

Targeted education and hands-on experience are helping pharmacists gain the confidence needed to guide patients in continuous glucose monitoring.

As continuous glucose monitoring becomes more common, pharmacists are essential in patient education but face barriers of time, training, and reimbursement.

Leveraging staff support, multimodal education, and policy change can make CGM counseling more sustainable in community pharmacies.

Pharmacists can build confidence with CGMs through hands-on experience, continuing education, and strong support from employers, peers, and manufacturers.

Pharmacists are key to CGM education, but time, training, and reimbursement remain major barriers.
