In our hands-on workshop we will cover:

One workshop participant said the workshop helped to “remove my ‘guessing’ and make it more accurate by getting a better understanding of serving sizes“.

This program is suitable for adults with type 1 diabetes and teenagers aged 16 and over (accompanied by an adult) using multiple daily insulin injections or an insulin pump.
