DIABETES HEALTH COUNSELOR
A bachelor's degree is required for registered dietitians and registered nurses. Health educators must hold a master's degree, and physicians must complete the education and training required for becoming a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.). Different areas may have different requirements and training programs available.
Diabetes health counselors are basically nurses, physicians, and doctors who have specialized in diabetes. They provide information to groups to help prevent and/or regulate diabetes. They provide lectures and sometimes 1 on 1 help. They use computers and have tons of paperwork.
The salary range for a diabetes health counselor is $54,052 to $81,376 a year depending on their job location and experience level. The average salary is $67,822.

The salary range is $159,693 to $247,731 a year depending on their job location and experience level. The average salary is $196,439.
