Ambulatory Insulin Initiation and Stabilisation for Type 2 Diabetes – (to view, click on blue wording) Web Presentations
This project is being undertaken by the Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) and is supported by an unrestricted education grant from Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and sanofi-aventis.
The following web presentations are now available as part of a wider project exploring current issues in ambulatory insulin initiation for people with type 2 diabetes. The presentations are being promoted to a wide audience of health professionals in order to increase awareness of issues involved in ambulatory insulin stabilisation and stimulate discussion on possible strategies to promote access to safe and effective insulin initiation and stabilisation for people with type 2 diabetes.
The project will culminate in a Round Table discussion between representatives from key stakeholder groups to be held in Canberra on Tuesday 1 July 2008. If you have been advised of these presentations through a professional organisation you may like to provide comment to the nominated representative who will be attending the Round Table.
