The discovery of insulin in 1921 was a significant breakthrough for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. Since that time, new technologies have greatly improved the quality of life for millions of people. Join us on November 9, from noon until 1 p.m. either virtually or in the Atkins Library Halton Room for a Lunch & Learn when Dr. Tonya Anderson will present about advances in this field of medicine, including new software systems for continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pumps using BlueTooth real-time data, and computerized insulin pumps.
Dr. Tonya Anderson is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Advanced Clinical Coordinator in the UNC Charlotte School of Nursing. In addition to her faculty position, Dr. Anderson currently works as a nurse practitioner providing care for individuals with diabetes, as she has done for more than 25 years, as part of her critical care nursing specialty.
