Insulin pump training has traditionally been performed in-person. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated vast increases in the number of virtual pump trainings for Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump starts. A customized structured pump training curriculum specifically tailored to virtual learning was deployed in early 2020, and included (1) preparation for training with use of the t:simulator app, (2) use of the teach-back method during video training, and (3) automating data uploads for follow-up. Retrospective analysis from >23,000 pump training sessions performed from January 1, 2020 to July 28, 2020 showed sensor time-in-range for up to 6 months after training was 72% (60%-81%) for virtual training versus 67% (54%-78%) for in-person training. Higher user satisfaction (4.78 ± 0.52 vs. 4.64 ± 0.68; < 0.01) and higher user confidence (4.61 ± 0.75 vs. 4.47 ± 0.0.85; < 0.01) were reported after the virtual sessions. Virtual pump training was well received and proved safe and effective with the new virtual training curriculum.
胰岛素泵培训传统上是面对面进行的。2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行需要大量增加虚拟培训，以进行 Tandem t:slim X2 胰岛素泵启动。2020 年初，专门为虚拟学习定制了结构化的泵培训课程，包括（1）使用 t:simulator 应用程序进行培训准备，（2）在视频培训期间使用回授法，以及（3）自动化数据上传以进行随访。对 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 7 月 28 日期间进行的超过 23000 次泵培训课程的回顾性分析显示，培训后长达 6 个月的传感器时间达标率为虚拟培训 72%（60%-81%），而面对面培训为 67%（54%-78%）。虚拟培训后，用户满意度（4.78±0.52 对 4.64±0.68； < 0.01）和用户信心（4.61±0.75 对 4.47±0.0.85； < 0.01）更高。新的虚拟培训课程表明，虚拟泵培训效果良好，安全有效。
