This session helps participants safely and confidently start insulin and/or provide education on current insulin therapy

You will be seen by both the dietitian and the nurse. The education is tailored to your needs but in general the nurse will explain the insulin therapies available, how insulin works, how to self inject and how to adjust your insulin as well as how to monitor your body’s response to insulin. The dietitian will look at your eating habits and explain the link between food and insulin’s action. You will be followed until you feel comfortable with your insulin routine and your blood glucose is in target.
