ForwardRecorded Webinar: Insulin Delivery Devices Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond: What RDs Need to Know Now
This webinar took place on Thursday, November 3, 2022, from 2-3 p.m. ET.
Over the last 20+ years, the devices available to deliver insulin have undergone enormous advancement, and the innovation and technology will continue at a faster pace than ever before. This wide cadre of insulin delivery devices that run the gamut from a simple patch to inhaled insulin to automated insulin delivery devices, can be used by people who take insulin, including people with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and even women with gestational diabetes if they need insulin.
Registered dietitians and others involved with caring for and counseling people who take insulin should be aware of the selection of devices and know how to keep abreast of the technological evolution. RDs should also have a basic comprehension of how the FDA reviews these devices and ways that FDA has expanded regulatory pathways for innovation and approval.
Join Hope Warshaw, MMSc, RD, CDCES, BC-ADM, FADCES, as she delves into how these technologies can help RDs and their clients overcome common insulin delivery and diabetes management challenges. Hope will also provide a glimpse of what’s to come in the future of insulin delivery device technology. This webinar will allow RDs the opportunity to learn how to discuss these devices with clients and support their decision-making process based on clients’ individual needs and desires.
