Amid all of my responsibilities as a diabetes educator, coach and supporter for those living with diabetes, I at times struggle to slow down enough to test my knowledge gained a few years back with current science and practice guidelines. A couple of ways that I filter through my knowledge is to test it against the annual ADA standards of medical care in diabetes (other current practice guidelines) as well as discussing with colleagues from non-pharmacy professions to get their perspective and insight. Recently while waiting to teach in a diabetes course for healthcare professionals preparing for CDE exam, I listened on a great discussion on dietary cholesterol and eating eggs. I walked away with food for thought and a few cobwebs cleaned out of some outdated knowledge that I held. Bottom line reading current guidelines, having discussions with colleagues and always seeking to learn from others are vital keys to staying current.
