About This Course

This groundbreaking book, which uses Motivational Interviewing (MI) as its counseling foundation, embraces the newest research in diabetes and obesity: change happens when we release the client and ourselves from numbers on a scale and ‘you must do’s’. Megrette’s creative genius shines through in every aspect of this course, from the clarity of the language to the humor of the examples and the extensive counseling dialogue you can immediately apply to your counseling sessions.

Features:

  • An effective weight-neutral MI-based counseling framework when working with diabetes clients–plus practical tips for using it today!
  • Over 20 innovative diabetes-oriented activities to use with clients–with handouts included! Learn to use The Insulin Knife, The Liver Sponge, the Blood Sugar Rocket, “What About Weight?”, and many more with your clients
  • Each activity includes specific counseling dialogue, learning objectives, tips, and visuals, so you’ll feel confident and knowledgeable using each one!
  • Why weight-neutral diabetes counseling? Understanding the rationale behind this simple yet profound approach and how to convey it to your clients
  • Special sections on binge eating disorders and diabetes (which are increasingly prevalent), and how to help your clients

 

We all know that diets don’t work. So why are we putting our diabetes clients on them? This course will help you break free of the weight-oriented mentality for diabetes control and free your clients to focus on wellness and healthy habits. Weight Neutral Diabetes Counseling and Education Activities: Helping Clients Without Harping on Weight CE course will help you focus on wellness and healthy habits with your clients while strengthening your counseling skills.

    This program was fantastic. Lots of practical, realistic and creative information. It was terrific–thank you!

  2. K.A., RD, Canton, OH

    I loved the practical activities that make concepts easier for clients to understand. Thank you for these great ideas in an easy-to-read format!!!”

  3. K.B., RD, West Chester, PA

    This course really stretched and challenged my thinking. It’s a very different approach then I’ve ever learned.This gave me a lot to think about, and probably change. Thanks so much!

  4. Elizabeth Hyde

    I love that it is not focused on weight loss, but instead focused on better health and those outcomes instead.

  5. Disha Gandhi, MS, RD, CDCES, Pittsburgh PA

    This program has finally answered all of my questions on how to use intuitive eating/HAES on people with diabetes. I am a huge proponent of intuitive eating, and I have been struggling with using it with people who have diabetes.

How Testing Works

Skelly Skills offers two types of Continuing Education (CE), also known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The two types of CDR-approved CE we offer are:

  1. Prior approved enduring (formerly known as self-study) CE courses using printed, online or eBook formats.
  2. Prior approved live, which are CE webinars.

For each of these types of CE, we offer Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs — also called CEUs, clock hours, or CPD hours).

Prior Approved Enduring (formerly Self-study) Courses

Our prior approved enduring CE courses all include a CE exam. This is important for some of you because you *may* be limited by the number of prior approved enduring (aka self-study) hours you can accumulate. For each course, you will need to complete the CE exam through our online testing system. It’s easy and you’ll get your CE Certificate of Completion as soon as you pass the course (or complete the Feedback Survey, in the case of our one-hour on-demand CE webinars).

Prior Approved Live (Live Webinars)

Our live CE webinars include a Feedback Survey. Within 24 hours of the live webinar, we will send an email with the Assessment ID and Key ID to complete the Feedback Survey through our testing system. Once you complete that, you’ll immediately be able to print and/or download your CE Certificate of Completion (it will also be emailed to you).

How to Purchase and Complete a Course

Step 1: Visit Skelly Skills and choose the topic and book or other course type you want to study. The number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours are shown on each product page. Note to international customers: You can change the display currency using the icons on the right of the page.

Step 2: Pay online—you’ll get virtual courses immediately or else you’ll receive the book in the mail along with the CE exam booklet (we call this a ‘CE Evaluation’). Note: for books that we publish in-house, we include the CE exam and testing info in the back of the book, not as a separate booklet.)

Step 3: Study the course content. Once you have finished, complete the online exam at our testing site using the Assessment ID and Key ID (password) provided to you in the CE Evaluation, or on the course webpage if you are completing an on-demand webinar or online course.

That’s it! Once you have passed your exam, you’ll receive a PDF certificate of completion which includes the number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours.
