Patient Education program on Insulin pumps at Karnataka institute of Endocrinology and research,  Bengaluru 

An interactive education activity was organised at our Institute with the support from Medtronic India. 15 families with T1D kids attended the event. It was a 2.5 hr program which included talk on Evolution of Insulin pumps from basic to the most advanced pumps by Dr Santhosh Olety,  practical pump demonstrations especially the advanced 780 G pump by Mr Deepak Bhatija followed by feedback and experience sharing  by parents and their kids  of using 715, 722,  620G and 640 G. Two families sharing their experience of using 780 G was enriching and same time provided platform for networking, exchange knowledge and solutions for potential challenges among parents. Discussion also included best pump settings and golden rules to be followed for optimal glycaemic outcomes.  Session on 780 G was concluded with a remark that it is a  continuous learning process for machine, users, and clinicians and time will improvise all.
