Diabetes in Pregnancy Education for Patients and Practitioners

Sweet Success Extension (SSE), now an arm of Right Now Nussing CEs (RNNCEs), provides the services previously admisintered by the not-for-profit entity SSEP.   RNNCEs did work “behind the scenes” as a conference management and shipping and handling manager for SSEP.
SSE continues with options in education for both patients/families and practitioners in the realm of pregnancy complicated by diabetes.
Education for practitioners and for your patients, some products with CE credits available.
The 27th Annual National Conference will be a Live Virtual Even November 3-4, 2023 with an alternative option to order the recorded lectures via webinar to follow.

Right Now Nursing CEs, LLC (RNNCEs) Partner, announces the addition of Sweet Success Express (SSE) to its list of educational venues regarding Maternity/Newborn care.  Swee Success Extension Program (SSEP) was  a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation which closed December 31, 2021.  Their goal to promote Diabetes and Pregnancy guidelines through education, continuues with SSE. Teaching guidelines remain based on the CA Sweet Success Model of Care by making it available and accessible to diabetes and pregnancy programs nationwide. This model of care remains the leading authority in diabetes and pregnancy guidelines and has been successfully implemented in various settings including managed care, primary care, clinics, offices, medical centers and hospitals ​at all levels of care in numerous states, and at Indian Health Service facilities. SSE will continue to provide conferences  andsupport services for health care providers nationwide.

 This 27th annual event will again be “Live Virtual”

We are staying with a conference format this year that focuses on  practical coverage of guidelines in care.  
Women and families that face a pregnancy complicated by diabetes need our assistance in reproductive decisions, prenatal and birth care as wellas postpartum adjustments. 
These familes count on our knowledge and guidance
to find their way to optimal health under these complicated circumstances.

Our collective practical approach to guidance and consideration of individual needs saves lives and promotes healthy living.
Components of treatment must take into consideration each family’s knowledge deficit(s);
teaching needs and styles of learning; demonstration needs; telecommunication ressources; extra testing, time, and expense;
needed life-style changes; motivation and mastery assessment and guidance.

The practitioner needs 
and up-to-date knowledge about care components.  In addition each talented speaker we are engaging in the conference will present a complicated Case Study to demonstrate spcifi challengs faced.

Topics to be discussed in our conference:
Preconception Counseling, Testing and Diagnosis Criteria, Comorbidities, Glucose Monitoring, MNT, Medication Management,
Targeted glucose control, Use of insulin pump, Importance of sleep, Birth Care, Update on Covid in pregnancy, Newborn Care, and Post Partum follow up.
