Leveraging Diabetes Technology for Better Outcomes: The Patient Perspective
Overview

Managing type 1 diabetes can be challenging but utilizing Insulin pumps and CGM can ease the burden of self-management and enhance diabetes management. During the webinar, you will gain insights directly from a patient with type 1 diabetes about the challenges of living with poorly controlled diabetes, the significance of provider interactions, and access to diabetes technology in improving glycemic control. Additionally, we will explore methods to overcome obstacles to technology adoption among groups with lower technology use and a heightened risk of unfavorable diabetes outcomes.

Automated Insulin Delivery systems have become the standard of care for Type 1 Diabetes. In this webinar, we will discuss who can benefit from these systems; dispel myths about the ‘ideal candidate’; and describe strategies for supporting and optimizing AID use.
