INPUT
Waiting list
INPUT consists of 12 lessons comprising all relevant information in order to treat diabetes with an insulin pump. Patients learn to effectively use the different features of their pump in order to improve not only glycemic control but also to improve the implementation of pump therapy in daily life. Psychological and motivational aspects of living with diabetes and living with an insulin pump are addressed as well.
Patients are randomly assigned to the waiting list. After completion of the 6-month follow-up, these patients will also receive training with INPUT.
