This training presentation provides an overview of diabetes education, prevention, and management to support effective patient education and care coordination. Participants will review the differences between Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) and the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the role of Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES), and the seven evidence-based diabetes self-care behaviors. The training also addresses the impact of social drivers of health on diabetes outcomes and introduces community resources, including the Diabetes Awareness & Wellness Network (DAWN). Through interactive activities and real-world scenarios, staff will strengthen their ability to identify patient needs, reinforce self-management strategies, and connect individuals to appropriate prevention and education services.
