Thank you team for this training. So far it has been informative and enlightening and I believe it’s going to be a game changer in our facilities with regards to T1DM management. My suggestion; use more scenarios especially with initiation of insulin therapy ( basal bolus, intermediate long acting and premeal boluses)
