Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the time that I spend providing diabetes education? I have not logged it.

How do I calculate the time that I provide diabetes education, and what part of my job is diabetes education?

I am a member of a Canadian Regulatory Body, and I have 800 hours of experience, but the experience was not in Canada, can I apply?

I meet all of the criteria, however, I do not work in a Diabetes Education Centre, is that OK?

I am a health professional and I do not have any experience working with diabetes but my child has diabetes, can I use that time?

I have diabetes, does the time looking after “me” count?

I will not have my 800 hours until I am ready to write the exam – is that OK?

Do I qualify to take the examination?
