Certificate in Role of Insulin & Technology in Diabetes Management (CRITDM)

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition marked by high blood glucose levels due to either inadequate insulin production or poor insulin sensitivity. Insulin therapy has been a cornerstone of diabetes management, particularly for individuals with Type 1 diabetes and advanced Type 2 diabetes. With the evolution of medical technology, insulin delivery systems, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and data-driven apps have significantly enhanced glycemic control and patient quality of life.

This certificate aims to provide an in-depth understanding of insulin’s role in managing diabetes, and how modern technologies are transforming diabetic care through precision, personalization, and improved patient adherence.

To educate healthcare professionals, diabetes educators, and caregivers on the vital role of insulin therapy and the advancements in diabetes-related technologies. The Certificate will focus on bridging clinical knowledge with practical tools for optimized, patient-centered diabetes care.

• Enhances professional competence in modern diabetes care
• Recognized by hospitals, diabetes centres, and public health programs
• Enables professionals to confidently advise on insulin dosing, device usage, and safety
