Happy February

We celebrate love in February, which is central to diabetes care and education. We open our hearts as we carefully listen to people share their stories about living with diabetes. We celebrate successes and grieve losses alongside the individuals we serve every day. We speak our hearts when we advocate for evidence-based care that enhances well-being and improves outcomes.

In recognition of these daily contributions of diabetes care and education specialists, we are excited to announce our “Spreading the Love” Sale during the week of Valentine’s Day. Enjoy 15% off all our online courses, including program extensions.

This month’s newsletter includes a breaking post on the most significant change to the CDCES Exam in the past 30 years (besides moving to computer testing from scantrons). We also explore how chronotype can impact glucose levels and disease risk.

As our company continues to flourish, we have expanded our team to maintain top-tier customer service. We are delighted to introduce our new customer advocate, Brent McMenomey. If you call in, you might catch his cheerful voice on the other end of the phone. In addition, he will be helping Bryanna answer chat questions and emails. Welcome Brent!

We provide two rationales of the month based on the ADA Standards. We decided to post these questions with the rationales to include additional insights into the new and updated guidelines.

As part of our commitment to foster inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility, we are offering FIVE “Making a Difference” Scholarships for our Virtual DiabetesEd Training Course on April 17-19th. Thank you in advance for considering applying and sharing with your colleagues.

In the next few weeks, you will notice updates on our homepage that will make navigation and finding your favorite resources easier. Plus, we will be popping in some new informational videos.

With love and appreciation,

Coach Beverly, Bryanna, Brent, Andrew, and Ginger
