CBDCE CBDCE Diabetes Technology and Monitoring

Question 1

What does the acronym CGM stand for in diabetes management technology?

Accepted Answer

Continuous Glucose Monitor

Answer

Calibrated Glucose Meter

Answer

Capillary Glucose Measurement

Answer

Controlled Glucose Module

Question 2

A patient's CGM report shows Time in Range (TIR) of 58%. According to consensus targets, what should their TIR goal be for most adults with diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Greater than 70%

Answer

Greater than 90%

Answer

Greater than 50%

Answer

Greater than 40%

Question 3

Which CGM metric specifically measures glucose variability and is expressed as a percentage of the mean glucose?

Accepted Answer

Coefficient of Variation (CV)

Answer

Time in Range (TIR)

Answer

Time Below Range (TBR)

Answer

Glucose Management Indicator (GMI)

Question 4

When educating a patient on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), which site is considered the standard reference site for blood glucose testing?

Accepted Answer

Fingertip

Answer

Forearm

Answer

Thigh

Answer

Upper arm

Question 5

A patient using a CGM sensor reports that readings seem to lag behind their fingerstick values during rapid glucose changes. What is the physiological reason for this?

Accepted Answer

CGM measures interstitial fluid glucose, which lags behind blood glucose by 5–15 minutes

Answer

The CGM sensor is malfunctioning

Answer

The fingerstick meter is inaccurate

Answer

CGM measures venous glucose, which is slower to change

Question 6

Which feature of a CGM system alerts patients to act before glucose levels reach a dangerous threshold?

Accepted Answer

Predictive low alert

Answer

Retrospective download

Answer

Calibration reminder

Answer

Sensor warm-up notification
