Hello, please see the portfolio journal club webpage for updates.

Thanks

Hello everyone, exam results are out!

Hello I am working on creating a new journal club to help up with getting credits for the portfolio. The page is still under construction but you can see what I have created so far. Even expired members can access it but you do need to log in. Same thing with access to the cheat sheets. Even as an expired member you can login and view the cheat sheets.

Thanks
Esmond

Hi everyone, the May 15th, 20th, 21th and 22th Q and A has now been posted in the 2026 Q and A webpage.

Thanks

Just a FYI that another exam writer had some technical issues due to lack of IT administration privileges. My take home message from the message is to use your own computer, not a work computer that often has IT restrictions on software.
Thanks

Hello everyone, I’ve created a new Storage of Medications cheat sheet to cover competency 3F. If you are not familiar with the competencies for the exam please review the Start Here webpage under the How to Study tab on the top menu.

Thanks

Hello everyone, reminder that Dr Pedersen and Anita Q and A is this Thursday May 7 at 5:00 Mountain time as per the clock above. A reminder that I will not be available to help with Zoom as I will be admitting people, moderating the chat, and helping Dr Pedersen and Anita. For all details, dates, times, and links please go to the 2026 Q and A webpage on the top menu bar or https://cdestudycourse.com/q-and-a-session/2026-q-and-a/

Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well. The exam is quickly approaching and so are the Question and Answer sessions. The deadline for sending in questions for Dr Pedersen and Anita Dobson to answer is April 30th. Her Q and A is on May 7. Please email questions to me at cdestudycourse@gmail.com. Another option to get your questions answered is the exam forum.

Please note that Dr Pedersen and I do not have any experience in pregnancy and pediatrics so these questions will generally not be answered.

I have also added an additional Q and A with myself on May 15. You do not have to attend every Q and A session. The Q and A s are an opportunity to ask questions to make sure you are 100% prepared for the exam.

For all details, dates, times, and links please go to the 2026 Q and A webpage on the top menu bar or https://cdestudycourse.com/q-and-a-session/2026-q-and-a/

Thanks

Added insomnia and mental health resources (not on exam) to the 2023 Diabetes and Mental Health study guide

Added Dexcom discount code webpage and Libre free trial webpage to the 2021 Blood Glucose Monitoring in Adults and Children with Diabetes study guide. As per the Calgary Libre rep, the Libre 2 cards ARE VALID for Libre 3 sensors. So if you still have old Libre 2 sample cards, don’t throw them out, you can still give them to patients.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re studies are going well. A reminder that I am here to help answer any questions you might have on diabetes or the exam. Please post your questions in the Exam Forum and I will answer your questions, generally in a day or two (but can take up to a week if I am away). That is what you are paying for so why not take advantage of it? I factor my time into the cost so why not use it?
Thanks
Esmond
