Summary:
This program focuses on insulin management in type 1 and 2 diabetes. Basal/bolus insulin delivery including multiple daily injections, inhaled insulin and insulin pumps are discussed.

- Define ‘bolus’ insulin and ‘basal’ insulin.
- Discuss meter features, including SBGM and CGM, important to patient selection of a particular meter.

- Use Carb Counting and glucose values to determine insulin
dose pre meal.
