The trend of health professionals becoming certified diabetes educators (CDEs) continues to grow. Certification is linked to providing more complex diabetes self-management training and medical management services nationwide.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Healthcare Professional Education
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Diabetes self-management training (DSMT) and medical management are crucial for patient outcomes.
  • The role and certification of diabetes educators have evolved over time.
  • Understanding practice patterns is key to optimizing diabetes care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the continued rise in certified diabetes educator (CDE) certification among US health professionals.
  • To compare the services and duties of CDEs versus non-certified diabetes educators.
  • To examine regional variations in diabetes educator practice patterns across the United States.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was distributed to diabetes educators across the United States.

  • Data collected included professional characteristics, certification status, and practice patterns.
  • Statistical analysis compared services and regional differences between CDEs and non-CDEs.

    • Main Results:

    • 83% of surveyed diabetes educators identified as CDEs, continuing an upward trend from previous years (51% in 1992, 63% in 1999).
    • Certified diabetes educators (CDEs) were significantly more likely to provide high-complexity DSMT (e.g., insulin pump training) and medical/medication management compared to non-CDEs.
    • Practice patterns for CDEs showed minimal influence from geographic region.

    Conclusions:

    • The increasing trend in diabetes educator certification is ongoing.
    • CDE certification correlates with a higher likelihood of delivering advanced DSMT and medical management services.
    • These findings represent a consistent national pattern in diabetes educator practices.
