CFRD EmPower Education Program
CFRD is a Journey. We are here to help.
Please read through the following points to get started.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Blood Sugar Tracking Technology
I find that we can make the most impact as a team, if there is a clear picture of your blood sugars, insulin dosages and carbohydrate intake. This allows us tp catch errors that could be contributing to your frustrations and empowers you to have better self-management of your sugars.
The InPen, is a fantastic tool for you as an individual to be empowered in your care and for me as an educator to see if there are any ways in which we can make adjustments for therapies to more closely match your goals. The InPen also lets you safely use insulin between meals, without stacking as well as lets you know when it expires and if it is getting too hot, which can cause the insulin to loose it’s efficacy.
The InPen and Dexcom are not mandatory for participating, however, they will enhance your success rate.
Individual Sessions
Individuals sessions are at the rate of $75/hour with Kat Porco, MS, CDCES.
These sessions will be greatly enhanced by data. So, if you can send your report(s) that will help us make progress!
We can use this time to:
Review data and look for patterns that can be adjusted for better control
After review, send suggestions to your team for dose adjustments
Look at insulins that may better cover your patterns or prednisone peaks, etc
Pump training
