In Episode 3 of Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast, the discussion about managing diabetes at school continues between Pam Durant and Sarah Adhami, Certified Diabetes Educator & Accredited Practicing Dietician. They’ll talk about special situations like parties, after school activities, exams and more. In addition to sharing some tips on these topics, they also highlight the importance of advocating for your child with diabetes.
Sara Adhami is an Australian Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) and Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) currently working at Mediclinic City Hospital – DUBAI.
In 2005, she began her career as an APD and advanced over 12 years working in both clinical and private practice settings during which she also studied further and became a CDE. Her experience included adult type 1 and type 2 diabetes care and gestational diabetes whereby she covered out-patient clinics and ran diabetes group education sessions to help reduce waiting times for those newly diagnosed with type 2 and gestational diabetes. Her research interests have been in the area of first trimester weight gain in women who developed gestational diabetes. After moving to Dubai in 2016, her experience furthered to include diabetes care in the pediatric population. This coincided with the increase in use of the Continuous and Flash glucose monitoring which has been an opportunity for research that she participated in to compare the 90 day CGM hba1c prediction to the laboratory Hba1c. In 2019, the abstract submission for the study got her selected as part of the ISPAD 2019 Science School which has been a motivator for further research to explore the impact that structured education can have on metabolic outcomes and Time in Range (TIR) for youth living with type 1 diabetes. She is passionate about diabetes education that is patient centered and the use of diabetes technologies to help guide education and diabetes care.
