Session-day considerations
- Fasting requirements vary by clinic and route — check insulin timing accordingly.
- Bring fast-acting glucose for post-session use.
- Continuous glucose monitors can be helpful for visibility through the session.
- Cardiovascular comorbidities (common in diabetes) require additional pre-session screening.
