What do people ask before enrolling on the Diabetes & Metabolic Nutrition?
Can I prescribe diets or adjust insulin after this course?
No. This is a skill-enhancement certificate, not a medical or registered-dietitian qualification. You provide supportive, educational nutrition guidance alongside doctors and registered dietitians, while medication, insulin and clinical decisions stay with the treating medical team.
Do I need prior nutrition knowledge to join?
A genuine interest in health is enough to start, and the course builds diabetes concepts step by step. It is pitched at an intermediate level, so both motivated beginners and practising professionals gain from it.
Is the course online, and what languages is it taught in?
Yes, it is fully online with lifetime access to the recordings. Sessions are available in English and Hindi, and mentor support is included so you can ask questions throughout.
Will I learn to plan diets for someone on diabetes medication?
You will understand how diet, activity and common diabetes medications interact, and can offer general supportive guidance. Any changes for a patient on medication should be coordinated with their treating doctor or registered dietitian.
How long is the course and are instalments available?
The programme runs over six weeks online and is studied at your own pace with recordings. EMI options let you spread the cost, and you receive an NNWA skill-enhancement certificate on completion.
