Show video transcript

In this module, we’ll be talking about the benefits of insulin pump therapy, some of the evidence around insulin pump therapy and I’ll be going through the different types of insulin pumps available. I’ll end up by then going through some simple tips on how you can start insulin pump therapy and use it and optimise it to help your patients with type 1 diabetes.

This module introduces insulin pump therapy, and demonstrates the evidence and benefits for different types of insulin pumps. During the module, you will have the opportunity to complete some case studies to demonstrate and apply your thinking.

This module includes self-marked assessments, such as knowledge checks and/or case studies, as well as a marked final assessment, which you can attempt up to five times. To complete the module, you must review all chapters, pass the final assessment (80% pass mark), and fill in our feedback form.
