Our dietitian at Healthy Way, Judith Mitnick has recently become a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE)! This CDE credential is obtained through the American Association of Diabetes Educators.
Diabetes education, also known as diabetes self-management education (DSME) helps individuals living 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 help patients achieve better quality of life while reducing their dependence on costly healthcare by teaching patients about:
- Healthy eating
- Being active
- Monitoring
- Taking medication
- Problem solving
- Healthy coping
