Building your confidence with FreeStyle Libre systems: introductory data interpretation guidance and tools 


Designed for Healthcare Professionals who have limited existing knowledge or those looking for a refresher on the FreeStyle Libre systems and data interpretation, this event was led by experienced experts in CGM. This online training course equipped the attendees with a clear, strategic approach to analysing and using FreeStyle Libre data effectively.

3 hours Continuing Professional Development: key learning outcomes

The first part of this valuable learning forum was made up of clinical, evidenced updates and a refresher of data interpretation skills through case-based learning and interactive polling. For the second part of the morning, the participants were able to choose two out of three workshops that focus on HCL, Type 2 and comorbidities.


  • Workshop 1: Introduction to CGM and Hybrid Closed Loop data interpretation 
  • Workshop 2: Type 2 diabetes CGM data interpretation and improving clinical outcomes
  • Workshop 3: Navigating CGM data for individuals with diabetes and cardiovascular comorbidities  


Each workshop provided dedicated time with an expert to work through real-life scenarios to solidify your practical understanding of data interpretation. 

Developed with convenience in mind

Packed with examples of best practice, interactive discussions and ‘how to’ advice, this course provided all the elements to engage with the day:


  • Meeting each other – turning on your videos and microphones in the breakout rooms
  • Listening and watching presentations and speakers’ Q&A – in the main course room with your chair
  • Taking part in facilitated interactive sessions – enabled by moderators in the breakout rooms
