Coming soon: ADEA’s new educational offering in insulin pump therapy

20 July 2024—We are excited to announce ADEA’s latest educational offering: an innovative microcredential focused on insulin pump therapy. Coming soon, this advanced education aligns with this year’s National Diabetes Week campaign of uniting in the fight for tech, which highlights the impact of technology on diabetes management in improving health outcomes. This year’s campaign also highlights the importance of increasing access to CDEs to support people living with diabetes to optimise their use of diabetes technology.
