Insulin Pump Basics for Nurse Practitioners

Insulin Pump Basics for Nurse Practitioners // For the month of March, I'm diving into DIABETES TECH. Did you know that was a thing? Well, it is & I bet you & your patients are already participating in the tech side of Diabetes! Now let me say this...over the past year (because of COVID-19), we all have embraced technology in all areas of our lives & this doesn’t stop with our patient care. I'm sure many of you are seeing patients virtually. Diabetes education & management are positioned well for technology. It is not the future but it is the NOW! Diabetes tech is becoming more & more accessible to all so that means we need to lean into it! You may be asking what is diabetes tech...well it includes but not limited to self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), & insulin pump therapy. This video gives an overview over INSULIN PUMP THERAPY!

Welcome to Kim E. The Diabetes NP Channel!!! My name is Kim E. and I have a love and passion for prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. I went on a journey a while ago to build upon my knowledge of the disease and found it difficult to find concise and useful information. I realized at that moment that we, as nurse practitioners, needed a resource like this. As I began learning more about the disease and the new advances in education and management, I wanted to be apart of the solution for my fellow colleagues. If this is something that interests you, please come along with me as we grow in our knowledge of Diabetes to better serve our patients.
