A 1-hour online continuing medical education (CME) course focused on type 2 diabetes nutrition significantly increases physicians' nutrition knowledge and confidence in providing lifestyle counseling.
If you are a healthcare provider, consider completing a short, focused online course on diabetes nutrition. This specific 1-hour course was shown to significantly boost knowledge and confidence in counseling patients, addressing the common gap in medical school training. It offers practical tools like billing codes to make integration into your practice easier.
A gain in knowledge was found when comparing pre- versus post-test scores related to the online nutrition CME (P<0.0001).
