I have gotten emails from several students reports that exam results are available on the CDECB website of they have gotten emails with their results.

A) If you have passed your exam, congratulations! Not everyone passes so attaining your CDE is an accomplishment to be proud of! Now begins the steps of building your diabetes practice. I have created a webpage for that. Please see: http://cdestudycourse.com/using-your-cde/ .

B) If you haven’t received your results by mid July I would email the CDECB to make sure that your address and all your other personal information is correct. You should be receiving your results soon. If you deferred the exam please email me the CDECB deferral letter and I will extend your account once.

C) If you did not pass, you are not the only person. Unfortunately not everyone passes the exam every year. Even people who have written the exam many times sometimes do not pass. Remember the deadline for the refunds/reactivations is July 31 and remember I need both pages of the fail letter which the CDECB will mail to you shortly. There are absolutely no refunds/reactivations after July 31 for any reason.

D) Just because the exam is over doesn’t mean you can’t email me. If you have a tough or interesting case and want a second opinion please feel free to email me. I want to help you help people with diabetes!

Hello everyone, this year I’ve had a lot of questions about the 2021 blood glucose monitoring update. I’ve created a new CBG cheat sheet and put it in the cheat sheet section. Also a reminder to check the 2024 Q and A webpage for links, times, details for the Q and A sessions.

Hello everyone, a gentle reminder that I am available and happy to answer your questions in the exam forum. The 2024 group has been fairly quiet with less than 50 posts. The 2023 group had 400+ posts. The exam forum is what you paid for so I want to ensure you get good value for your money.

Thanks
Esmond
