About this position

Diabetes Educators are licensed healthcare professionals who may be registered nurses, registered dietitians, pharmacists, or have worked in any number of specialty areas. Diabetes Educators have the opportunity to earn two different credentials - Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) or Board Certified Advanced Diabetes Educator (BC-ADM).

Diabetes education, also known as diabetes self-management training (DSMT) or diabetes self-management education (DSME), is defined as a collaborative process through which people with, or at risk for, diabetes gain the knowledge and skills needed to modify behavior and successfully self-manage the disease and its related conditions. The intervention aims to achieve optimal health status, better quality of life and reduce the need for costly health care.
