The aim of this module is to provide an overview of the role of blood glucose monitoring and management in the care of patients who have had a stroke. It provides information about how blood glucose monitoring and management in acute stroke care can be enhanced to ensure that incidents of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia are minimised or avoided. Don't forget that you do not have to complete our two-hour learning modules all in one go. Tailor your learning to fit into your busy schedule by undertaking one or two sections at a time.
