Recognition of Credentialled Diabetes Educators
Diabetes education is a specialty field of health care practice. It is distinct from the information and support provided by generalist health care professionals and also from the discipline specific education that is provided by other key members of the diabetes team. Credentialled Diabetes Educators are the appropriately qualified providers of diabetes education.
