The provincially approved Home Care: Advanced Glucose Monitors in the Home Care Setting Clinical Guideline aims to enhance and standardize the use of advanced glucose monitors in home care. It provides comprehensive support for eligible clients who require assistance with these devices, ensuring the delivery of consistent, high-quality care. This guideline has been developed in collaboration with representatives from the Home Care programs across all five Health Regions and will be effective as of August 11, 2025.

To support the successful implementation of this guideline, an education package has been created. This resource is available to all Health Regions to facilitate training and promotes a comprehensive understanding and application of Advance Glucose Monitors in Home Care.

The guideline and supporting materials are available on the Shared Health Provincial Clinical Standards, Policies & Guidelines web page.

We appreciate your support as we enhance individual outcomes and operational efficiency through provincial standardization and optimization. If there are any questions regarding this change, please contact Mona Spencer, Provincial Clinical Consultant, Home & Community Care, via email
