Program Overview
The use of diabetes technology can be life-changing
for the person living with diabetes. Much of diabetes care occurs in the
primary care setting and members of the care team need to be skilled in
discussing and initiating diabetes technology with their patients who are
living with diabetes. Part 2 of this activity includes interactive case-studies
that will provide primary care providers with the opportunity to discuss,
initiate and follow-up on the use of diabetes technology in patients with
diabetes. The expert faculty will present case studies involving CGM, smart
insulin pens and AID.
