Description

This webinar equips clinicians with the strategies and confidence needed to support long-term success with automated insulin delivery (AID). This session outlines a structured approach to early and ongoing follow-up, highlighting what to assess, when to intervene, and how to proactively address both technical and clinical challenges that can arise over time. Faculty will demonstrate how to interpret AID data to inform therapy adjustments and guide meaningful clinical decision-making, while also addressing how to support patients through life transitions that may impact AID use. Participants will gain practical troubleshooting techniques, clear escalation pathways for complex cases, and a follow-up framework designed to improve outcomes and sustain engagement, enhancing confidence in managing AID therapy in real-world practice.
