Our PCN is fortunate to have four of our healthcare professionals who are Certified Diabetes Educators.
Diabetes Educators are an integral part of the health-care team for a person living with diabetes. They help people with diabetes to effectively manage their disease by providing ongoing and up-to-date education and support. Certified Diabetes Educators teach specific skills in areas such as monitoring and managing blood glucose levels, physical activity and the best way to manage medications including insulin.
Diabetes Educator Day provides an opportunity for the healthcare system and Canadians living with diabetes to recognize the unique role educators play in delivering diabetes management and support to their lives.
Diabetes Educators help your patients get the best out of life!
Our PCN Diabetes Educators are:
Andrea Shackel - Registered Dietitian
Sally Ho - Registered Dietitian
Nandini Desai - Registered Pharmacist
Cherie deBoer - Registered Nurse
