YOI am now a CDCES 🎉🎉 I’m so hype to share it with you!
If you’re not familiar, CDCES is a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.
I’ve wanted to become a CDCES for YEARS….
…and having lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 23 years, I’ve seen a LOT with my own diabetes education.
Growing up, I was always hoping to get that ONE diabetes educator that would just change how I viewed diabetes and have that major breakthrough…
Previously, I was always trying to minimize my blood sugars and not give them the right amount of attention.
FINALLY, toward the tail end of high school, I met that educator.
His name is Jeremy (now in the San Antonio area if you need a great diabetes practitioner!), and he really changed how I viewed diabetes.
After he motivated me to really take the reins of my own diabetes, over the years, he encouraged me to think about pursuing diabetes as a career….
As a result of his kindness, I really wanted to pay that back to the community and be able to change lives of our T1D Family…
So I can assist in not only how our community feels physically, but also emotionally while living with diabetes and improve their quality of life.
I really want to pay it back, so I am so grateful for this opportunity to add to the credentials to do so…. and I can’t wait to keep serving this amazing community 🔥 🔥
