Where do diabetes educators work?

Diabetes educators work in many different areas. Common locations for employment include hospitals, community centers, outreach program centers, health fairs, clinics, doctors offices, and home care companies. Your duties and responsibilities can vary based on where you work. For example, if you work for a traveling health fair, you may need presentation skills and the ability to persuade people to visit their doctor to get checked for diabetes. If you provide home care, you may need to live with a homebound patient and perform all testing and treatment on their behalf.
