edited by Paulina N. Duker, contributions by Sandie Anderson, Janice Koshinsky, Karen McAvoy, Nancy Schenk



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.
