Connecting the care team: Optimizing insulin management for diabetes
What are the most effective ways for a diabetes care team to tackle the complexities and challenges of insulin management for patients?
Our host, Dr. Alice Cheng, discusses practical approaches in coordinating multidisciplinary diabetes care with Dr. Michelle Long, a Primary Care Physician based in Port Hope, Ontario, with more than 30 years in clinical practice, and Ms. Susie Jin, a Pharmacist and Certified Diabetes Educator based in Cobourg, Ontario, recognized for her national leadership in diabetes.
Together, our experts explore the importance of a connected care team—including endocrinologists, general practitioners, pharmacists, and diabetes educators—in optimizing insulin use for patients with diabetes. They discuss strategies for initiating insulin conversations, dispelling misconceptions, and leveraging the expertise of the entire care team. Tune in to hear practical tips for improving communication and collaboration among healthcare providers to better support individuals living with diabetes, especially in resource-limited settings.
