An Introduction to CGM - Join us at London Vet Show for our Educational Session

Join us at London Vet Show on Friday 21st November, 12:30-13:30, Gallery Suite 22 for 'An introduction to Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), highlighting why a veterinary-specific system offers clear advantages over adapting human devices'.

Speakers:

• Ian Ramsey*, BVSc, PhD, Dipl.ECVIM-CA, DSAM, FHEA, FRCVS European Specialist in Veterinary Internal Medicine (CA), United Kingdom University of Glasgow, UK
• Lina Cao, Manufacturer and Application Specialist
• Mike Wickham, Csci FIBMS, Managing Director - Woodley Equipment Company Ltd
• John Crook, BSc CSci FIBMS, Biomedical Technical Manager - Woodley Equipment Company Ltd

We’ll share practical guidance on identifying suitable cases for CGM and explain the benefits of continuous data collection compared with traditional blood glucose curves including reduced stress for pets, improved owner compliance, and more accurate insight into glycaemic trends.

We’ll also explore how app-based technology can track glucose data in real time, providing clinicians with faster, evidence-based support to adjust diet, exercise, and treatment plan.

Finally, we introduce InSight Vet CGM – a Continuous Glucose Monitoring system designed and manufactured exclusively for veterinary use.

• Understand the differences between veterinary-specific and human CGM systems.
• Recognise the benefits of using CGM devices designed specifically for pets.
• Identify the clinical goals and advantages of pets wearing a CGM.
• Know when and how to incorporate CGM into case management.
