Summary
This study tested whether an online training platform called SUPPORT-Pro could increase healthcare professionals' confidence in treating people with type 1 diabetes. The platform provides evidence-based, regularly updated content on topics like medication, diet, and glucose monitoring. 229 healthcare professionals in Canada participated, and their confidence levels were measured before and after using the platform for 3 months.
