Education Resources & Programs
Whether you’re newly diagnosed with diabetes or have had diabetes for many years, realize that diabetes education doesn’t end. There are always new things to learn about diabetes.
Here’s how to stay up to date:
- Meet with a certified diabetes educator (CDE). CDEs are usually nurses, dietitians, exercise physiologists and pharmacists who specialize in diabetes education. You can find CDE’s working in hospital outpatient departments, medical centers, clinics and physician offices.
- Meet with a registered dietitian to learn more about diabetes nutrition and meal planning. Many dietitians are also CDEs.
- Attend a diabetes self-management education class. Diabetes classes are usually taught by a CDE and you’ll benefit from learning from others in the class, too.
