Developing family centred online learning modules on flexible insulin dosing for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract

Flexible insulin dosing allows children with T1DM and their families to adjust insulin based on carbohydrate intake.​ Families often struggle with carb counting and applying dose calculations consistently​. Digital health tools like the Ypsomed MyLife app bolus calculator can support families, but require structured education to use effectively​ Education via self-directed online learning modules, may help to reduce the inaccuracies associated with carbohydrate counting and calculating insulin doses, as well as reduce the barrier of attending face-to face education sessions by being a flexible learning option that can be completed and repeated at the family’s convenience.
