Hi everyone, One Touch is offering these plates for patient education for free. If you want one please email me your name and the address where you want the plate dropped off. I will see if there is a One Touch representative in your area that has one available. These are a great visual for patients and the correct size for the plates patients should use.

This poster is being offered by Eli Lilly and is great because it also has provincial formulary coverage. Its specific to different regions. Patients really like the pictures of the pills so they can point out which medications they are on. If you would like one please email me your name and the address you would like one dropped off. I will see if there is a Eli Lilly representative in your area that has one available.

Thanks

Hey everyone, I was hired by McKesson to help a group of pharmacists pass the CDE exam. I’ve done a few meetings and decided to upload them onto YouTube. The videos review how to use my website and potential pharmacist interventions for some of the chapters. You can find the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrfdnIxup9yDv9FOWOfu4Fg

I will be posting two more videos when I meet with the McKesson pharmacists again.

Enjoy

Hello everybody the digital copy of Building Competency: The Essentials is now available. It is available as a 1 year subscription and can be found at https://orders.diabetes.ca/products/copy-of-buy-a-banting-house-brick-2

As discussed in the How to Study section, it is nice to have but not necessary for the exam.

Hi everyone, just a FYI that the deadline to apply for the CDECB exam or submit your credit portfolio has been extended to February 15th.
Thanks
Esmond

For those of you who have already registered for the exam, you should have received an email from the CDECB saying you have the option of delaying the exam till 2023 due to COVID fatigue. If you have bought a package before Jan 27 then you can extend your membership till 2023. Just email me confirmation that you are taking the exam in 2023 and them email me next year to remind me to reactive your account.
Thanks

Hello everyone, just a FYI that there will be a new digital version of the Essentials coming out in February sometime. ICI medical is still working on their website. They are still working out the price and how long you will have access to the digital version. I’ll post more info here once I receive it. Remember that the Essentials is a great diabetes resources but not necessary for the exam. The most important document is the 2018 Diabetes Canada guidelines.

Thanks
Esmond
