Day 2: 8.30 am - 5.00 pm
The integration of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and pump therapy has been an important milestone in the management of type 1 diabetes . The more recent incorporation of control algorithms has offered potential to further improve clinical outcomes. The development of an algorithm that predicts impending hypoglycemia based on CGM and suspends basal insulin before the occurrence of hypoglycemia has been very helpful in managing the blood glucose excursions in Diabetes. In order to be able to successfully learn the use and set up of the CGM and pump, it is essential to realize the other factors that play a role in blood glucose excursions. Set over 2 days, the course will comprise of detailed subject matters which will include didactic content and opportunities for audience engagement
• Identify the benefits of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in the management of Type 1 Diabetes
• Understand the Value of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in reducing Glycemic Variability in Type 1 Patients
• Recognize Clinical Benefits of Sensor Augmented pump in improving Glycemic profile in Type 1 Diabetes
• Start New Patients on Sensor Augmented Insulin Pump Therapy
• Calculate & Adjust the Basal and Bolus Insulin Requirements for patients on insulin pump therapy
• Customize Insulin Pump Settings and Sensor Alerts to Match the needs of the patients.
• Train the patient on Sensor Augmented Insulin Pump Therapy and follow up
• Download Sensor augmented pumps to Care-link Software and generate reports
• Interpret Patient Reports and make dose adjustment decisions based on that in collaboration with the Physician
