Main description:

To comply with standard requirements, diabetes education programs such as the American Diabetes Association Education Recognized Program must be managed by a diabetes professional who is a certified diabetes educator or is board certified in advanced diabetes management. To help diabetes education program managers comply, editor/author Paulina Duker and her coauthors have developed a full-topic study guide that gives the applicant information to successfully pass the CDE and BC-ADM certification exams. Based on a two-day short course developed by the authors, the American Diabetes Association CDE and BC-ADM Certification Study Guide is a handy and complete study guide for these two most important diabetes education credentials -- Certified Diabetes Educator and the Board Certified--Advanced Diabetes Management. This study guide outlines the essentials of diabetes education in a well-organized and intuitive format. Topics include: education process, assessment, learning and behavior objectives, type definitions, medications and medical nutritional therapy, pathophysiology and classification of diabetes, long-term complications, program management, and sample questions.
