What does it mean to be “accredited” by the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) Education Recognition Program?
The ADA Education Recognition Program is one of only two National Accrediting programs for Diabetes Self Management Training. Applicants for recognition must meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME). The National Standards for DSME define quality diabetes self-management education and ensure that the education is both current and combines best evidence, gained from scientific methods, along with the diabetic’s day-to-day experience of his/her self-care.
