Kailey Hodel

2. What I am
I am a level 2 CDE who is professed in communication, diabetes education, counseling and management training. A level 2 CDE is the amount of information I am able to provide to people with my schooling

3. What I do Focus on helping people with diabetes
Helps people at risk of diabetes

Overall, how to live a healthy lifestyle, with or without diabetes

4. What I do
I help people with lots of problem solving, because in diabetes, there are many things that can occur sporadically, high blood pressure or low blood pressure and also many other things. I help people figure out what to do when they get illnesses like the flu, affecting a diabetic much more than someone who does not have diabetes. I also help people figure out a eating plan, because going more than 5 hours without eating as a diabetic can be very dangerous. We talk about prevention of diabetes, with starting a healthy food plan (I am a certified dietitian)
