Miscellaneous
A vital aspect of insulin-based treatment is glucose monitoring, typically using on-the-spot finger prick blood tests. While this is essential to monitor treatment effectiveness and prevent hypoglycaemia, it can be difficult for patients to adapt to a new routine. What can we do to support people in adapting to regular glucose monitoring? Join Professor Richard Holt from the University of Southampton for a detailed discussion of monitoring approaches and introducing these to your patients.
