As a registered dietitian, I met the requirements to become a certified diabetes educator in 2005, and then, because I had a master’s degree, I was able to meet the requirements and sit for the exam to be board certified in advanced diabetes management. I went on to develop and coordinate two separate accredited diabetes centers.

One of the most important things I learned through the above experiences is that to get the best results for our clients or patients and to truly help prevent complications down the road, diabetes educators should reinforce the importance of using all the tools available to better manage a patient’s diabetes. Not just medications.
