A diabetes healthcare professional (HCP) is reviewing the clinics registry of individuals with diabetes to help close quality gaps. The HCP identifies a person (JR) with type 2 diabetes using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that has received recent diabetes education. However, there is no documented A1c or Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) in the medical record for the current measurement year, and the individual’s CGM data is not being shared with the healthcare team.
What is the MOST appropriate next step?
- A. Establish CGM data sharing with JR to obtain a qualifying GMI or obtain an A1c.
- B. Document that JR uses CGM to close the quality gap and meet the necessary criteria.
- C. Encourage JR to continue using the CGM and reassess their Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) at the next scheduled visit.
- D. Wait for the primary care provider to identify and address JR’s missing measure to close the quality gap.

Digital Quality Reporting Toolkit: Advanced Strategies for Diabetes Professionals webinar
The U.S. healthcare system is rapidly shifting toward digital quality reporting, transforming how diabetes outcomes are measured, reimbursed, and improved.
In this 1-hour and 15-minute program. Dr. Marie Frazzitta, DNP, FNP‑C, PMHNP, CDCES, MBA, explores how national quality initiatives are modernizing diabetes metrics, including the integration of CGM-derived indicators and the upcoming measure that will track CGM adoption. We’ll also highlight the operational realities of digital reporting and show how DCESs can leverage these trends to expand their impact, strengthen care equity, and become strategic partners in quality improvement and population health.
