Common Questions and Answers about Certified diabetes education training

I am not a physician, but a volunteer and the mom of a type 1 diabetic.
I would suggest you call your son's endocrinologist or CDE (certified diabetic educator). I would go over your sons training schedule, school schedule and meets. They would be the best to advise you as to how much your son should eat as a snack before hand and how to regulate his insulin for meets. Exercise and stress can lower Blood sugars so your son might require less insulin and more carbs.
The most luck women tend to have are with certified nurse midwives (have a 4 year degree plus additional midwife training) or certified professional midwives (still trained but only in midwifery). As long as you find a certified, competent, and experienced midwife and are low risk (as in no diabetes or pre-eclampsia, placenta preva, etc.) then this is a safe option. I also highly recommend going to the ICAN website (ican- online. com) for support and educational resources :) Best of luck!!
My strong recommendation to you is that you get a referral or just make an appointment with a Certified Diabetes Educator or Diabetologist or Endocrinologist. Folks with TYpe 1 typically test 4-10 times a day, I'm not sure what's recommended for Type 2.
I do notice that you're doing all the testing and for each diabetic, we must -- as individuals -- take responsibility for our care, if we have the mental & physical ability to do so.
Hi, Im 17 1/2 years old, about a month back, I was diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes type 1. My specialist thinks that eventually it's going to develop into actual diabetes and I'm going to have to insert insulin. I'm a senior in high school and after I graduate, I want to go to community college and then possibly join the military to become a book keeper or work in an financial department.
An obstetrician is a Dr who has further education and training in the field of women's health, pregnancy, and child birth. As for midwives there are different types. There are certified nurse midwives, who are trained nurses that have further education and certification to perform prenatal care and deliveries.
You might consider speaking with your doctor or finding a diabetes educator to work with. A CDE (certified diabetes educator) can work with you to create a meal plan and give you information about to keep your sugars under control with food and lifestyle. There's an organization for CDE's and on their website I think you can search for one iny our area. Asking your doctor or the local American Diabetes chapter is another resource.
Diagnosis can be scary.
I strongly recommend using the Castle-Connolly directories at www.****.com. Their data base contains board-certified ophthalmologists who have been nominated by other doctors for their excellence. (There is only a nominal fee involved.) I tried searching for retinal specialists in Manhattan and pulled up 35 referrals--several of whom are connected with prestigious medical schools and have been designated as being "top doctors in America.
the fact is that we have a mismatch between the insulin on board and the insulin we need. Depending on the type of workout, a certified diabetes educator or endocrinologist will guide you to (1) increase the protein/carbo you eat prior to the workout (and/or during your workout) and/or (2) adjust your longacting/basal and/or your short-acting insulin for a period that might start before and/or continue a while after your workouts.
Best thing a person can do when told they are Diabetic is to contact the local Hospital or Health Department and get signed up for their Diabetes Education class. I learned So much from those classes and they gave me the books to bring home with me.
I also read a lot about it online too

Part of the problems we are having in this country, I believe, stems from the formal education we have, or don't have. Basically the public education system we have has not changed over the last century, so what changes would you make if you could and if added cost is involved how would you pay for it.
He is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology with subspecialty Fellowship Training in Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology. That fellowship training means he is not board certifited in the Sub-Specialty of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
From what I can find according to ASRM, SART, SREI and other groups they all recommend that you choose a clinic who has a Board Certified RE.
s are not chiropractors, their Osteopathic Manipulations are safer and more gentle. D.O.s are physicians. They have the same amount of education and training (actually a bit more) as an M.D.
I was deemed "disabled" and told my working days were over. I didn't listen and struggled for eight years to continue my career when I changed physicians. I was about to throw in the towel when this wonderful D.O. changed my life. Her magic hands keep me employed almost ten years longer.

My son is almost 3 and was diagnosed at 14 months with Type 1 Diabetes. We have somewhat began potty training and I know it's a bit different for children with diabetes in that he still doesn't go through a nap without peeing.
Just wondering how some of you dealt with potty training, tips, etc.
