Bridging the Medical Technology Gap: The Impact of New Technology on Diabetes Management
Thursday, March 30, 2023
High tech devices such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) can be effective tools to help diabetes patients manage their blood glucose, but access to these technologies, as well as the education and support necessary to successfully use them, remains a challenge for patients served by health center programs. Being familiar and up to date with diabetes technology is essential to successfully improve diabetes management among underserved populations. In this webinar by NCHPH, participants discussed blood glucose monitoring devices, compared insulin delivery systems, and explained the use of digital health technology for people with diabetes.
