National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators
The National Certification Board of Diabetes Educators conducts certification activities and awards the credential of “Certified Diabetes Educator” (CDE). The CDE credential demonstrates that a health care professional possesses distinct and specialized knowledge, thereby promoting quality care for persons with diabetes.
Certification is a voluntary process used to assess and validate qualified health care professionals’ knowledge in diabetes education. It is an evaluative process that demonstrates that rigorous eligibility requirements have been met. Certification is not required by law for employment in the field; however, agencies may use board certification as a basis for employment, job promotions, salary increases and other considerations.
