About the Course

Diabetes management is an intricate clinical practice that varies widely from patient to patient. The Elite Nurse Practitioner decodes diabetes treatment with our Comprehensive Diabetes Management course, presented in collaboration with Chris Rue, FNP. Course completion awards 5 CEU hours, with 3 classified as pharmacology hours. This highly requested addition to our clinical course line features evidence-based tips for improving outcomes for diabetes patients with diverse needs.  

Many NPs receive only rudimentary instruction on diabetes management during schooling, making it difficult to understand and develop care protocols for diabetic patients. This can cause delays in treatment, further progressing this time-sensitive disease. Once you develop a sophisticated understanding of the metabolic processes related to diabetes, you can regulate hormones, recommend lifestyle changes, and prescribe medication without needing to refer patients elsewhere.  

No matter what kind of niche practice you operate, you will treat diabetic patients. Therefore, a well-rounded NP must be versed in this clinical space. A variety of new medications and treatment methods are available to manage all types of diabetes, and every medical professional should stay updated on emerging technologies.  

This course is suited for NPs of all experience levels, whether they are new to diabetes management or just need a refresher. We provide everything you need to treat patients with confidence, including best practices for evaluation, diagnosis, prescribing, and warning signs of potential complications.  

Disclaimer: This course primarily focuses on the treatment of type 2 diabetes patients. We touch on some topics related to type 1 diabetes, but this condition usually falls under the scope of an endocrinologist rather than an NP.

• The risks, regulations, and liabilities of diabetic care

Sara: I have purchased several courses from The Elite NP and have found them to be so very educational and helpful in my practice. Not only is the information that Justin provides relevant to my practice, but he also includes any and all forms that may be needed such as Botox consents, intake forms, etc!! I highly recommend these courses!

Tashica B: Justin and the Elite NP community goes above and beyond to empower NPs! The courses, the feedback, the actionable steps/info to start a business is immeasurable! So happy I came across this forum and super excited about what I will accomplish as a result of it! So appreciative for all the useful information!

Dee D: I have purchased many education courses from the Elite Nurse Practitioner. Because of his courses, I’m now working part time, and growing a niche side clinic. His ongoing shots of wisdom and encouragement are effective and, when needed, he provides a “kick in the ass”. He stays with you and doesn’t teach you and then drop you. He also knows and appreciates the value of a hard working Nurse Practitioner and is fantastic at communicating that value. It doesn’t take long before you begin to realize that the only thing holding you back is that you bought into the idea that being a slave to corporate run healthcare is the only way to function meaningfully as an NP, to have financial security, and to be happy. It’s time for you to get out of your way :)
