This CPE program encourages you to think and practice critically, taking into consideration not only blood sugar management, but treatment of hypertension, renal insufficiency, and hyperlipidemia as well. The case studies presented outline realistic patients whose treatments can become complex, all while considering the safety and preferences of the whole person. I would recommend this CPE to anyone looking to feel confident in medication management with diabetes.

Minimum Data Set 3.0 RAI Manual v1.17 Course

"This is an excellent CPE program. In my experience educating other professionals about baby-led weaning (BLW), I have learned that professional resources on this emerging area of nutrition are sorely needed. Moreover, because the Born to Eat book goes beyond the basics of BLW and discusses family meals, body positivity and raising children to trust food and their bodies, any nutrition professional will benefit from incorporating the concepts from this self-study course into practice."

Diana Rice, RD, LD, CLEC
Born to Eat Course, 2

"As a pediatric registered dietitian, I'm a self-feeding approach advocate. Having this CPE program will encourage more dietitians and healthcare providers to learn up to date information.
