Most people managing diabetes have never heard of a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.
Your doctor may have never mentioned it. Nobody handed you a referral. And if you were diagnosed years ago, chances are you got some general advice and were sent on your way.
That ends today.
In this episode, Oscar Camejo sits down with Sarah Hankes, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with over 30 years of experience in chronic care. Sarah is also the author of Raw and Real: Beyond the Plate, the Scale, and the Mirror, a book that challenges the idea that managing diabetes is only about what you eat.
In This Conversation, You Will Learn:
- What a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist actually does, in plain language
- How a diabetes educator works alongside your primary care doctor or endocrinologist
- When in your diabetes journey working with one makes the biggest difference, whether you were just diagnosed or have been managing this for years
- What happens when someone walks in after years of going it alone
- What a full diabetes education program covers beyond food
- How to find a diabetes educator and whether insurance covers it
- The connection between diabetes and kidney health, and what you need to know to protect yourself
- Why the number on the scale is not the full story of your health
