Purpose:
This two-day workshop for health-care providers (including physicians, nurses, dietitians, social workers and pharmacists) will enable them to apply 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines to advanced diabetes self-management for clients using insulin.

Overall objectives:
Workshop A is designed for diabetes educators who wish to gain expertise in the essential components of Intensive Therapy (insulin therapy & carbohydrate counting) for adults and who are less experienced in terms of Intensive insulin therapy.

Workshop B is designed for multidisciplinary health team members who are experienced in IT to update their skills and apply new evidence in their practice settings.

Plenary sessions and concurrent workshops C and D are designed for both groups and cover new guidelines for:

• Pregnancy
• Acute inpatient care
• Endurance training
• Self-management education (including an introduction to coping skills and motivational interviewing).
