LM has had type 2 diabetes for over 30 years and takes 1000 mg metformin BID, 30 units of glargine at bedtime, 25 mg empagliflozin, as well as daily lisinopril and lovastatin. A1c was 7.2%, LDL: 56, and eGFR was 38 mL/min/1.73m2 last visit. CGM ambulatory glucose profile report indicates a time in range of 71%, time below range of 4%, and time above range of 25%. LM reports living on a fixed income, relying on social security, and an increase in recent financial stress. They are concerned they may not have enough money to purchase foods by the end of the month.
Select the best answer considering LM’s potential risk factors for hypoglycemia?
- LM has chronic kidney disease, and we note he is taking an ACE and SGLT-2.
- Basal insulin therapy alone.

ReVive 5 Diabetes Training Program:
The 2024 ADA Standards of Care now recommends annual screening for diabetes distress. If you are wondering how to screen for distress and tailor education based on the results, we encourage you to join this unique training program.
This two-session training provides the essential steps to address diabetes distress combined with an innovative approach to helping people make sense of their glucose data.
The first session is team-taught by experts in the field of diabetes distress and effective communication approaches. Dr. Larry Fisher kicks off the program by describing the difference between depression and distress and interpreting Diabetes Distress screening results. Dr. Susan Guzman uses a case study approach and step-by-step communication strategies to address responses from the Diabetes Distress screening tool. This session includes an abundance of evidence-based approaches that you can apply in your clinical setting.
Coach Beverly leads the second session. During this three-hour program, Beverly describes insulin dosing strategies, meter and sensor data interpretation, and common issues encountered by people using diabetes technology. Case studies include tools to help individuals discover what changes are needed to get glucose to target, coupled with the communication skills discussed in the first session. In conclusion, the team of instructors review a case study that pulls together all the ReVive 5 elements.
“ReVive 5” breathes new life into our relationship with diabetes, bringing a fresh perspective to both the person with diabetes and the provider.

Question of the Week | RD feels overwhelmed by all this sensor data. Best action?
RD is 82 years old, on basal insulin with bolus insulin at breakfast and dinner if need. RD just started using a sensor to track their daily blood sugars. After using the sensor for a few weeks, they share that they are feeling anxious and don’t know what to do with all this information. They even took extra bolus insulin yesterday to try and get blood sugars down. RD’s time in range is over 70%.
Which of the following is the most appropriate intervention?
- Refer RD to a mental health provider who specializes in diabetes.
- Reassure RD that their time is range is on target and they are not at risk of complications.
- Suggest that RD stops using a sensor and resumes using a glucose meter.
- Explore feelings of anxiety associated with the data and glucose levels.

Question of the Week | Why are CGM readings higher than BG readings?
KS has type 1 diabetes, takes degludec and lispro for their diabetes medications and was recently prescribed CGM therapy to support glucose monitoring. At their visit they report sensor readings have been consistently higher than blood glucose readings.
What would be an important follow-up question to evaluate the potential cause of this difference?
- Re-assure them blood glucose never equals sensor glucose, so this difference is okay.
- Review current medication and supplement use.
- Discuss changes in diet and factors contributing to elevation in sensor glucose readings.
- Inquire about sleep habits and potential compression of glucose sensor.

Question of the Week | Best Approach for Religious Fasting?
Ramadan is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. The common practice is to fast from dawn to sunset. The pre-dawn meal before the fast is called the suhur, while the meal at sunset that breaks the fast is called iftar. This year, Ramadan starts on Sun, March 10th and ends Tuesday April 9th, 2024. This question of the month addresses supporting individuals with diabetes during periods of religious fasting.
The 2024 Standards of Care reported individuals who fast have an increased risk for hypoglycemia, dehydration, hyperglycemia, and ketoacidosis.
Which of the following is an accurate health care statement regarding recommendations for religious fasting?
- Recommend continuing with usual diet and medication regimens to ensure glucose stability and reduce health risks.
- Accommodate a person’s choice for religious fasting.
- Advise people with diabetes taking insulin about the need to avoid religious fasting due to risk of hypoglycemia.
- Provide education on religious fasting only when evidence indicates risk.
