Education will be provided to patients within the diabetes education program as ordered by a healthcare provider (physician and nurse practitioner) in the outpatient setting. Inpatient education will be provided to patients by referrals, orders and criteria set to meet HFAP guidelines. The DNE must be able to provide accurate diabetes education to a wide population taking into consideration age, socioeconomic level, cultural background, literacy/education level. The DNE demonstrates knowledge by utilization of best practice guidelines using Standards of Care and Clinical Practice Guidelines. The DNE will be able to provide training to patients checking blood sugar and administering insulin with use of a variety of blood sugar monitoring systems and insulin delivery methods.
