Join other American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) professional members in this recorded one-hour panel discussion webinar, Maintaining Skin Integrity with Use of Diabetes Devices.

In this ADA webinar, the panel will discuss skin integrity and diabetes devices. Skin care can often be a barrier of care for the diabetes patients that utilize continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps. Our presenters will identify solutions to skin irritation and share pearls of practice based on their experiences in the clinic setting. The panel will share five actionable tips for supporting professionals and people with diabetes, as well as host a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar.  

The session is a part of the Hands On: Tips to Improve Diabetes Care webinar series available exclusively to ADA professional members and presented by the ADA’s Behavioral Medicine & Psychology, Diabetes in Primary Care, Exercise Physiology, and Diabetes Technology Interest Groups—supported by funding from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
