What patients using these resources should still bring back to you
Insulin changes, device suitability, pregnancy, sick days, mental health concerns, recurrent hypos, DKA risk. These resources support the work between appointments. They do not replace clinical judgement, and patients are encouraged to discuss any changes with their diabetes team.
