This course is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and, for healthcare professionals in Kenya, Daktari Online. Learners who complete the course will receive 1 European CME credit and an IDF certificate of completion.
The International Diabetes Federation and FIND have partnered to develop online educational materials for people living with diabetes and healthcare professionals to support the effective integration of CGMs into healthcare systems in LMICs and foster a broader understanding of CGM technology in these settings. A free online course on CGM for people with diabetes and their caregivers is available on the IDF School of Diabetes Understanding Diabetes platform.
