Course Description
In the contemporary world, diabetes is considered one of the leading causes of morbidity. According to the International Diabetes Federation, UAE has one of the world’s highest prevalences of diabetes. Nutrition has an important role to play in the management of diabetes along with pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification.
Medical nutrition therapy is an integral component of Diabetes Management and Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME). Medical practitioners should upskill themselves with the current dietary recommendations for diabetes to provide appropriate patient education to facilitate strict glycemic control. There is a need for an education program that will provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge required to deliver evidence-based nutritional interventions to diabetes patients.
The Certificate in Diabetes Nutrition course will help clinicians and dieticians to increase awareness of the principles of nutrition therapy, and diet plans for diabetes patients. The course will provide you with knowledge on how to create beneficial nutritional interventions by combining evidence-based recommendations and considering the individual’s cultural, and ethnic background, and personal preferences. Guidelines recommend that a knowledgeable and skilled dietician should be primarily involved in nutrition therapy for diabetes.
This course is CPD Accredited! Taking this course provides you with a certificate from the Official CPD Standards Office.
Eligibility: Dieticians, Nutritionists, General Physicians, Specialists, and Interns
Course Validity: 2 months. There will be an extra charge for the extension of the course validity.

Accredited CPD Activity
Continuing professional development (CPD) is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee’s job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.
CPD obligations are present in most professions. Most companies and organizations now prioritize them because they ensure a constantly developing workforce.
This means there are millions of professionals across the UK who are required to undertake CPD training every year.
Structured CPD gives employees a clear path to success within their current role and progression to future ones. Employees in regulated industries (e.g. healthcare, accountancy, legal work) can lose their license to operate if they don’t maintain their CPD.
CPD activities can range from formal educational activities such as instructor-led training courses, workshops or seminars, to more informal approaches such as work-based learning or mentoring. CPD can also include self-directed studies such as e-learning courses and structured reading.
CPD can be provided by specialist companies (e.g. commercial training providers, independent coaches), or provided internally, in particular by larger organizations.
