LifeAfterDx--The Guardian Chronicles: We interrupt our regularly scheduled program...
Every CDE and every doctor I've dealt with says I should become a CDE. However, that means going back to school and taking a huge cut in pay. I've done that once for education.
I have a much better track record when it comes to the education end of things -- that's my training, and I too live with the diabetes thing. Probably can reach Type 2s better than a lot of Type 1s since I understand before diabetes better.
More when I have more time.
I think we D-folk should band together to create two new certifications to "compete" with the CDE. The DDE and the FMDE. These would stand for Diabetic Diabetes Educator and Family Member Diabetes Educator.
