Learners will explore common monitoring and control devices used by people with diabetes, including blood glucose meters, insulin delivery systems, and glucagon emergency kits. Through practical scenarios and step-by-step guidance, participants will learn when to provide fast-acting carbohydrates, when to call emergency services, and how to assist safely without overstepping their role. The course emphasizes proactive workplace preparedness, proper safety precautions, and creating an inclusive environment that supports colleagues with diabetes while maintaining emergency readiness.
