Introduction:
An insulin pump is a small device with the ability to deliver insulin continuously (basal) or quickly (bolus) for carbohydrate intake or correction of high glucose levels. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) measure the glucose level in the subcutaneous tissue, but not in the blood. The Diabetes patient can see what their glucose level has been, what it is at the moment, and which way it is trending. Trends in blood sugar levels allow an individual to anticipate and prevent hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.
This workshop is designed to develop a theoretical understanding of insulin pumps and practical tips for managing patients with diabetes using CGM to healthcare professionals who already have exposure to Diabetes patients on pumps or CGM and wish to develop more skills.
