Diabetes Technology Series: CGM Remote Monitoring and Billing in Pregnancy
Monday, 21 September, 2026

In this episode of the SMFM Podcast, we continue our Diabetes Technology Series with a practical discussion on remote glucose monitoring in pregnancy. Dr. Heidi Leftwich is joined by Dr. Karin Fox and Dr. Amy Valent to explore how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and other remote monitoring tools are changing diabetes management in maternal-fetal medicine. The conversation covers how clinicians can use glucose trends to guide treatment decisions, identify patients who may benefit from closer remote follow-up, and use CGM data to support patient engagement and timely medication adjustments. The speakers also discuss strategies for managing large volumes of glucose data, setting expectations with patients, and developing effective team-based workflows. The episode then turns to the operational side of remote monitoring, including documentation, coding and billing considerations, integration into clinical workflows, and practical approaches for implementing remote glucose monitoring within an MFM practice.
