Nurse education has evolved from an apprenticeship model to one with a graduate focus. However, numerous factors have resulted in less opportunity for students to practice clinical skills in practicum (Scholes et al., 2004). Simulation was introduced...

A pilot study to evaluate a self-management algorithm for people with Type 1 diabetes participating in moderate intensity exercise in laboratory and real-life environments (2013)
Thesis
Charlton, J. A pilot study to evaluate a self-management algorithm for people with Type 1 diabetes participating in moderate intensity exercise in laboratory and real-life environments. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University/NHS Lothian. Retrieved from htt

Background Limited evidence is available to advise people with Type 1 diabetes about self-management strategies for maintaining acceptable glycaemic control when exercising. It is recognized that hypoglycaemia is a potential risk and this is a major...
