I was reading up on diabetes and came across the term Certified Diabetes Educator and that talking to one is a good idea. I checked at work and found that this is covered by my insurance. I registered, verified that I was a fit for the program and was enrolled. And it is a full program.

• Professional health coach for 1-1 guidance
• Connected devices (scale, blood pressure or glucose meter)
• Weekly interactive lessons
• Online community of peers

After getting accepted, I did a questionnaire to help them understand me, my goals and more importantly my commitment. I answered the questions honestly and without any editing. I should have saved the answers – would have been good to put here.

There is a lot to like about this program. Another level of accountability with the potential to learn a ton. And have professional resources to answer the questions that the academic information may not cover. Looking forward to seeing how this works. I’m debating to try to use the app now rather than waiting for them to send me all the info…we’ll see if I can wait.
