Description

Carbohydrate Counting for Health Professionals is an interactive workshop which empowers health professionals with the skills, knowledge and confidence to count carbohydrates utilising a variety of different tools and techniques.

The workshop explores which type of carbohydrate counting (basic through to advanced) is relevant for each individual. People with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes have different needs in terms of the level of accuracy that is required in carbohydrate counting to help promote optimal diabetes management.

Registered Nurses will attend the full day (dietitians and diabetes educators may choose to attend the ¾ day). The first two hours will cover the Australian dietary guidelines and ensure a good base of nutrition knowledge is gained to assist with the increasingly advanced modules taught throughout the rest of the day.

  • The day starts at 8am for registration with an 8.15 start.
  • Morning tea at 10.30, registration for those who are attending the ¾ day option for an 11am start.
  • Morning, afternoon tea and lunch will be provided on the day also tea, coffee and water.

Cost: Full day - $185.01, ¾ day - $150.52 (students receive 15% discount)
