Looking into becoming a certified diabetes educator (CDE)? Let me be honest–becoming a CDE changed my life!

Recently, I had a conversation with one of the warmest, most honest dietitians I’ve ever met. He stated to me every time he gets a consult to educate patients who are recently diagnosed with diabetes he dreads it. I know exactly where he is coming from because I used to dread it as well.

Becoming a CDE gave me the understanding of glycemic agents, medications, micronutrient deficiencies associated with some of the medications, and different conditions (ex: lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, balantitis to name a few). Though the study material taught me a lot being in the real world is an entirely different story. In today’s video I share with you 4 real life experiences I’ve learned after becoming a CDE and how it has helped me become a better practitioner.
