Welcome, !

The Retired status has been established to recognize a retired CDCES's (previously known as CDE's) service and commitment to the diabetes care and education specialist profession, as well as their achievement and maintenance of the CDCES credential. This voluntary status is available to active status CDCESs who have held the credential for at least 10 years and who are no longer actively working, volunteering, or practicing in diabetes care and education, but wish to maintain their relationship with CBDCE.

Individuals obtaining Retired status will receive a certificate of recognition and be included on a published listing of Retired Status Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists. A one-time processing fee is required with the Retired status request form.
