The global impact of diabetes is increasing rapidly, expanding the need for registered dietitians (RDs) to provide medical nutrition therapy (MNT) for individuals with the disease. With no cure in sight, but with the ability to delay or prevent progression to diabetes with an appropriate lifestyle, you can also play a role in helping a wide range of individuals reduce their risk for diabetes. This module will expand your understanding of diabetes and provide you with resources to help those at risk prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, and to provide MNT to those with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
If you are a registered dietitian or a dietetic technician, registered, simply follow the instructions to earn one CPE credit hour following your successful completion of the CPE questions.
