Unlock insights for managing diabetes distress with the experts!

ReVive 5 Diabetes Training Program:

(Recorded for On-Demand Viewing)

"ReVive 5 Program is the best program I have ever attended - should be required for all diabetes educators! Thank you so much for translating this research into practical approaches!!" -Sarah F. 

The 2024 ADA Standards of Care now recommends annual screening for diabetes distress. If you are wondering how to screen for distress and tailor education based on the results, we encourage you to join this unique training program.

This two-session training provides the essential steps to address diabetes distress combined with an innovative approach to helping people make sense of their glucose data. 

The first session is team-taught by experts in the field of diabetes distress and effective communication approaches. Dr. Larry Fisher kicks off the program by describing the difference between depression and distress and interpreting Diabetes Distress screening results. Dr. Susan Guzman uses a case study approach and step-by-step communication strategies to address responses from the Diabetes Distress screening tool. This session includes an abundance of evidence-based approaches that you can apply in your clinical setting. 

Coach Beverly leads the second session.  During this three-hour program, Beverly describes insulin dosing strategies, meter and sensor data interpretation, and common issues encountered by people using diabetes technology.  Case studies include tools to help individuals discover what changes are needed to get glucose to target, coupled with the communication skills discussed in the first session. In conclusion, the team of instructors review a case study that pulls together all the ReVive 5 elements. 

"ReVive 5" breathes new life into our relationship with diabetes, bringing a fresh perspective to both the person with diabetes and the provider.

 Bonus Courses - 8.5 CEs 

These optional bonus courses are designed to provide attendees with additional information to expand their knowledge and acquire additional CEs.

ADA Standards of Care | 2.0 CEs

This course is an essential review for anyone in the field of diabetes. Join Coach Beverly as she summarizes the 2024 updates to the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes and provides critical teaching points and content for healthcare professionals involved in diabetes care and education.

Objectives:

1. A review of changes and updates to the 2024 ADA Standards of Medical Care
2. Identification of key elements of the position statement
3. Discussion of how diabetes specialists can apply this information in their clinical setting

Critical Assessment – Fine-Tuning your Diabetes Detective Skills Standards | Level 2 | 2.0 CEs

This course integrates the ADA Standard of Care on elements of a comprehensive medical assessment (Standard 4) of the individual living with prediabetes, diabetes, or hyperglycemia. Through case studies and real-life situations, we discover often hidden causes of hyperglycemia and other complications, such as liver disease, sleep apnea, pancreatitis, autoimmune diseases, fractures, and more. 

Objectives:

1. Identify common yet often underdiagnosed complications associated with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
2. State strategies to identify previously undiscovered diabetes complications during assessments.
3. Discuss links between hyperglycemia and other conditions including, transplant, cystic fibrosis, and liver disease.

 Solving Glucose Mysteries for Type 1 |  Level 4 | 1.5 CEs
