Walking with diabetes

Being diagnosed with diabetes can be a life-altering experience, leaving you and your loved ones feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. As a credentialled diabetes educator (CDE), Krysten fully understands the challenges you may face. We are committed to offering assistance and empowering you with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the journey alongside diabetes. Together, we will stride confidently on the path of managing diabetes.

What does a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) do?

A CDE is a health professional who has undertaken a rigorous credentialling program and has specialist knowledge in the field of diabetes education.

CDEs assist and empower people living with diabetes, and those at risk of developing diabetes, to effectively self-manage the care and treatment of their diabetes or prediabetes.

CDEs have specialised holistic expertise in diabetes care and management, and tailor their advice to each person’s diabetes’ situation. CDEs work closely with people with diabetes to:

  • • listen to and understand their priorities, knowledge and needs

  • • tailor education and clinical advice to their situation, their culture and where they are on their diabetes pathway

  • • provide in-depth knowledge across all key areas of diabetes care and management

  • • recommend other specialists and allied health professionals where needed.
