Simplicity Health is now nationally recognized by the American Diabetes Association as a comprehensive diabetes self-management education/ training program (DSME/DSMT). Diabetes educators are licensed professionals, registered nurses and registered dietitians, who are specialized in educating people with diabetes. Most have taken the exam to become certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES).

Diabetes educators can provide education and training on diabetes including:
