What Do Diabetes Educators Do?
Credentialed diabetes educators help people with diabetes to understand the risks and benefits of lifestyle choices and treatment options. They work with other members of the healthcare team to achieve clinical targets, good health and wellbeing.
For your appointment you will need to bring a blood sugar meter, record book, reading glasses, copy of your GP management plan/team care arrangement and an insulin pen. Bringing a friend or relative is also recommended.

• Monitoring blood sugars and understand the results, giving you the freedom to make choices, the confidence to learn from your actions and the motivation to keep striving to do better
• Using medication including insulin and explain how they work
• How to plan for good mental and physical health
• Provide education and support on how to self-manage your diabetes
• Manage your diabetes when you are unwell
