Management of Blood Glucose course
This session outlines the importance of regular insulin therapy, blood glucose monitoring, and the role of diet in the management of type 1 diabetes.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the importance of regular insulin therapy
- Explain to patients how to monitor blood glucose
- Explain the role of diet and carbohydrate counting
This session outlines the management of type 1 diabetes in children and young people (CYP).
