A Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) is a health professional recognised by the Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) for increased knowledge and ongoing professional development in diabetes education.
CDEs come from a range of professions, including nursing, pharmacy, dietetics, exercise physiology, podiatry, physiotherapy and medicine. They complete a diploma or certificate in Diabetes Education, ADEA's Credentialling Program and must keep up ongoing professional development to keep the credential.
A CDE helps you understand diabetes and put it into practice: monitoring, medicines and insulin, diabetes technology, sick days, hypoglycaemia and everyday life. CDEs can register you with the NDSS. CDE status is recognised by Medicare, DVA, the NDSS and some private health insurers.
Our clinicians can explain how this applies to you and help with the next step, whether that is a referral, a device, funding or a plan the rest of the team can see.
