Diabetes Training 101 Inc.™ was established in 2014 to continue the vision of “Making a Difference in Diabetes” pioneered by Kris Swenson, RN, CDE and Betty Brackenridge, MS, RD, CDE of Diabetes Management and Training Centres of Phoenix, Arizona. Kris and Betty are diabetes educators who have spent a lot of years (over fifty years between them) listening to their patients.
“We’ve built our programs on what we’ve learned from people who live with this disease and from the best today’s science has to offer. Our patients tell us that living their REAL life and learning through Discovery, learning what works and what needs tweaking, is key to achieving long-term control of their diabetes.”
