Hi
I have T1 diabetes and have started a new job. I am lucky to have a great manager- who wants to learn more about the condition specifically:

Hypo symptoms and treatment
Hyper symptoms
Planning refreshments for team away days

Does anyone know of training which covers this or should I create my own?
 
Is there nothing in the Learning Zone (link in Orange above)?
 
Hi @worriedT1 welcome.

Wow what an employer! there are many who don’t really wish to engage. I think if you do “typical for you etc” type list that would be a good start for them.
 
Welcome to the forum @worriedT1

Great that your employer is so engaged and wants to learn more.

You might find some useful stuff on this page
