Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
This QISMET-accredited course covers the basics of type 2 diabetes, including diagnosis, various treatment options, and the possibility of remission. It also explains why diabetes is important, touching on managing blood sugar, treatment goals, and long-term issues.
Running concurrently with this general course, we offer a culturally specific course that emphasizes the unique needs of ethnic communities and their experiences with type 2 diabetes.
T1 Diabetes and Technology
This course covers technologies for managing type 1 diabetes, including continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy. It provides insights on sensor usage, result interpretation, dose calculation, and lifestyle aspects.
Participants explore hybrid closed-loop systems and smart pens for advanced diabetes care. The course includes a live Q&A with diabetes experts on Zoom, who also moderate discussion boards and respond to comments throughout the course.
Diabetes and Ramadan
We offer two Ramadan-focused diabetes courses in partnership with the Diabetes and Ramadan International Alliance. One course is tailored for healthcare professionals in English, and the other is designed for individuals with diabetes in English, Arabic, and Malay.
Both courses aim to guide informed fasting decisions through risk assessment, safe fasting practices, dietary/physical activity guidance, medication adjustments and establishing safety nets. Live Q&A sessions with diabetes experts on Zoom are available in Arabic, Malay, and English.
