Do you need a CDL to be a yard driver?

The new name for the Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) credential is the Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). This change was implemented in 2020 by the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE), which oversees the credentialing process. The renaming reflects a broader scope of practice, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to diabetes management that includes not only education but also ongoing care and support. The transition aims to better represent the roles and responsibilities of professionals in this field, highlighting their expertise in providing personalized, evidence-based care to individuals with diabetes. This change helps to align the credential with current standards and the evolving landscape of diabetes education and management.
