Online course to improve hybrid closed-loop knowledge
Healthcare professionals looking to develop their knowledge of hybrid closed loop (HCL) therapy are being given the opportunity to complete an online course.
Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) has developed the ‘Closed Loop Essentials’ course to help people gain a better understanding of HCL therapy options.
The HCL course will include information on managing ketones, how to avoid and treat hypos, carb counting and insulin.
In addition, it will look at problems with HCL, going back to pens, bolusing for meals and snacks and the effect of foods on glucose and carb essentials.
The online course is self-directed and can be completed in the person’s own time and in their own chosen environment.
There is no time limit and should take four to six hours to complete. The course is available free of charge to diabetes healthcare professionals who are not DAFNE trained and who do not work in a DAFNE service.
