Standards of Care Booklet

Coach Beverly believes the ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes is a key resource for healthcare professionals involved in diabetes care, education, and support. One of the most important pieces of literature to read prior to becoming a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and for clinical practice, the Standards of Care book is a study must!

The booklet includes:

• ADA’s standards for diagnosing, treating and managing diabetes across the care continuum
• Nutrition recommendations and principles
• Position statements on managing diabetes and its complications in various settings

Important Add-on:

Coach Beverly Study Tip: A student said that one of the things that helped her most with the exam, was reading through the Case Studies in the Art and Science Book. These case studies are easily identifiable in colored boxes in each of the chapters.
