Diabetes Technology Workshop

Moderator: Dr. Dabia Al Mohanadi (Senior Consultant, Medicine)

Introduction:

An insulin pump is a small device with the ability to deliver insulin continuously (basal) or quickly (bolus) for carbohydrate intake. And Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) measures the glucose level in the tissue, but not the actual blood. The Diabetes patient can see what their glucose level has been, what it is at that moment, and which way it is trending. Trends in blood sugar levels allow an individual to anticipate and prevent hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

This workshop is designed to develop theoretical understanding of insulin pumps to healthcare professionals who already have exposure to Diabetes patients on pumps or CGM and wishing to develop more skills.

Topics covered:

• Insulin pump theory and evidence
• Practical steps for insulin pump
• data downloading and interpretation
• CGMS and SAP – theory and evidence
