The following fetaures are in this App to enhance your knowledge and improve your intensive diabetes self care:
1) Basic information on diabetes, carbohydrate counting and insulin pumps
2) Details on advanced pump features
3) Calculations for starting basal rates, returning to insulin injections and a bolus wizard
4) Videos - allowing you and your family to clearly see how we recommend to do certain pump related tasks eg: change an infusion set or reduce bubbles in your pump
