| Abstract: | This guidebook is the second in a series of four handbooks in the CORE Curriculum, a project originally planned to help educators prepare for the Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) exam. However, the use and scope of the CORE Curriculum has expanded; it is both a key reference for the Advanced Diabetes Management credential exam and an authoritative source of information for diabetes education, training, and management. This first volume covers diabetes management therapies. Topics include medical nutrition therapy for diabetes; physical activity and exercise; pharmacologic (drug) therapies for glucose management; pharmacologic therapies for hypertension (high blood pressure) and dyslipidemia (altered levels of blood fats, including cholesterol); monitoring; pattern management of blood glucose; insulin pump therapy and carbohydrate counting for pump therapy, including the use of insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios; hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels); and coping with illness and surgery. Each chapter includes an introduction, a list of learning objectives, key definitions (glossary), key educational considerations, self review questions, references, and a post-test (including an answer key). The handbook concludes with a subject index. |
