Managing and living well with diabetes is a team effort. It involves you, your family and a team of health professionals to back you up. Because diabetes affects people in different ways, your doctor will recommend that you see a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE).

​

A CDE is a health professional who is recognised for their expertise in diabetes education. They help people to manage their diabetes or prediabetes by providing personal care and support. Additionally, your CDE will help you make a plan to manage your diabetes and overcome challenges. They will use the latest evidence-based information and give you advice that fits with your lifestyle and culture.

​

Working with your doctor and other health professionals, a CDE can help you lead your healthiest possible life and live well with diabetes.
