The Certified Diabetes Educator programme will help students to develop their skills to understand the impact of health behaviour and lifestyle on acute and chronic problems of Diabetes and provide a comprehensive, cost-effective and self-care management plan.
Diabetes is now an important public health problem, with an estimated 463 million people with diabetes across the world in 2019, a figure that is projected to rise to 700 million by 2045 as per the IDF Diabetes Atlas, 2019. In India, there were an estimated 77 million people with diabetes in 2019, a figure that may rise to 134 million by 2045. It is estimated that about half of all cases of diabetes are not diagnosed, and even of those diagnosed, only about half are put on treatment. Even among these, at least half are not managed properly. Several reasons have been attributed to this, like lack of proper knowledge among patients about the disease and its management, dearth of adequate support and care, psycho-social and behavioural issues, etc. In such a scenario, the role of a diabetes educator becomes crucial to ensure proper management and care of diabetes by working with the patients and their caregivers.
In order to enhance the core skills and competencies of health professionals to effectively educate people with diabetes, and promote healthy lifestyles and effective self-management for optimal diabetes control, CNDS, IGMPI has designed this programme.
