We know that a great resource page full of accurate and helpful cheat sheets can save busy diabetes specialists time and energy.
We collected all of our most popular and helpful reference sheets on one page.
These sheets and cards include information to study for certification exams and to use in your clinical setting. Plus, we have included teaching sheets for people with diabetes.
Please feel free to download, print, and share with your colleagues and community.
Emily Gibbons – “My coworker just ordered a bunch of these cards for the physicians we work within the hospital. They are awesome. You guys are the best! I will continue to give you business.”

The Supplement Evaluation Sheet was created by Cleveland Clinic, summarizing multiple studies into an easy-to-read a sheet of supplements. Their evaluation results in a scale of “Recommended: Evidence” to “Not Recommended: High Risk” for supplements for people with diabetes.
Coach Beverly Thomassian has created a number of videos to give ideas on how to get the most out of different teaching tools, such as our Medication PocketCards, Pancreas Partner (color and size varies – made in Kenya), DiaCell, DiaBingo, and how best to use the ADCES Books.
Our DiaBingo game makes learning about diabetes fun. We are no longer able to manufacture the game but we have made it a free download just for you!

**To satisfy the requirement for renewal of certification by continuing education for the Certification Board for Diabetes Care & Education (CBDCE), continuing education activities must be applicable to diabetes and approved by a provider on the CBDCE List of Recognized Providers (www.ncbde.org). CBDCE does not approve continuing education. Diabetes Education Services is accredited/approved by the Commission of Dietetic Registration which is on the list of CBDCE Recognized Providers.
