Overview
We are establishing a Type 2 Diabetes and Continuous Glucose Monitors Consumer Advisory Panel. The panel aims to provide advice to support research and implementation of CGM into practice for those living with type 2 diabetes. The panel will have up to 10 members, which will be made up of six to eight people living with the medical condition, one to two researchers and/or clinicians and one support officer. We will aim to have a diverse panel with people of different ages and backgrounds.
