"Just wanted to say Thanks for such a great talk on Monday. Before this lecture I think I had Diabetes Educator burnout! But your review and enthusiasm is just what I needed, you are such a great educator and an inspiration for me, your clients are lucky to have you! :)"

"Thanks for the December Newsletter. I also want to personally thank-you for helping me pass my CDE exam. I had tried a couple of times to pass the test but I met with barriers in taking standardized testing on-line. I have been a nurse for over 27 years and always had a passion for educating diabetics and healthcare providers on glycemic management in the hospitalized patients."
I currently am a Diabetes Program Coordinator and Educator for a large Health System. Your webinar on Preparing for the CDE exam helped me focus on what a Diabetes Educator must do to help their patients succeed in Diabetes Self Management Training. All your helpful hints on looking for the stem words, reading the questions slowly, thoroughly, avoid distracters and being confident helped me to succeed.
I also learned a lot from your other webinars: Setting up a Successful Diabetes Program, Meds for Type 2 and Insulin.
Thanks for all you do in educating us to be the best we can be in diabetes."

"Thank you so much for the awesome conference in San Diego in September!!! It was my first time west of the Mississippi! It was also hands down the best conference I've ever been to!! I had a funny story I wanted to share with you... (I think only other people like us will think it is funny!)
On Saturday morning, I was soooo tired and I decided to order room service. As I was browsing through the menu, I came to a particular menu item and had to do a double take and then I just burst out laughing!! The ACTUAL menu item said "Good ole' Pancakes" but when I was first reading it I swore that it said "Good ole' Pancreas!!" I thought you might get a laugh out of that. I've told everybody about it and they don't think it is nearly as funny as I did!! "

"I had to share my great news with you. I just received notification that I passed my CDE® exam! I am so excited about it. I am so grateful that I attended your program.
I was so concerned about the medications and BG values, types of DM, etc. Your seminar really changed the focus of my studies. The exam focused on exactly what your program presented-focusing on the individual, not the dx.
I can't tell you enough how wonderful your program is and how it shows that every one of the instructors involved is committed to this cause.
Many, many thanks and much continued success with your seminar."
