Good luck!

We hope this course has helped to give you more information about what insulin pump therapy involves. If you think that insulin pump therapy is right for you, the next step would be to discuss this with your diabetes team.

For more information about insulin pumps feel free to have a look at our more comprehensive course ‘My Insulin Pump’.

We’d appreciate it if you could complete the post-course questionnaire to let us know what you think of the course. If you have any suggestions or complaints, we’d love to hear them – this will help us to improve the course in future!
