Use of Insulin Pumps

Course overview

People with diabetes have difficulty maintaining a normal blood glucose level. Intensive therapy can reduce the long-term risk of retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular disease associated with type 1 diabetes (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 2020). The choice of insulin therapy will depend on the patients preference, as well as the preferences of the healthcare team. This course provides information to help clinicians better understand insulin pumps and how they work. The goal of this course is to update physicians, nurses, and dietitians on insulin pumps and the latest developments in glucose management.
