About Diabetes Nurse Carole | Diabetes & Prediabetes Education & Type 2 Diabetes Prevention

Welcome to Diabetes Wellness by Carole! I'm Carole Jakucs, MSN, RN, CDCES, PHN, also known as Diabetes Nurse Carole.

My mission is to help people living with all types of diabetes and prediabetes, improve their health and quality of life through evidence-based diabetes education, lifestyle coaching, and practical strategies for better blood sugar control.

Through the articles I write, public speaking events and personalized support, I strive to increase awareness about the different types of diabetes, preventing type 2 diabetes, diabetes self-management skills and healthy living.

I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in Education and am a practicing registered nurse specializing in diabetes care. I am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), a Certified Public Health Nurse (PHN) in California, and a National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) Lifestyle Coach. I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and dedicated my career to helping people achieve better health outcomes through education and empowerment.

As a published healthcare journalist and writer, I have authored more than 200-articles on diabetes, prediabetes, nutrition, chronic disease management, safety, wellness, the nursing profession and many other health topics for publishers in the United States and around the globe. As a health journalist and writer, I provide expert level articles, educational content, and professional speaking services that deliver accurate, evidence-based information to diverse audiences.

My nursing experience spans more than two decades and in addition to diabetes care includes practicing as an RN in medical-surgical, telemetry, pediatric emergency and trauma, college health, and in urgent care as a clinician and in leadership roles. This broad clinical background allows me to understand the unique challenges individuals face when managing acute and chronic health conditions.

At Diabetes Wellness by Carole, my goal is to help you build confidence in managing diabetes and prediabetes through actionable, realistic strategies. Whether you want to achieve better blood glucose control, reduce your risk of complications, learn healthy eating habits, increase your physical activity, or better understand your treatment plan, I am here to support your journey.

I believe education is a powerful tool for improving health and wellness. By combining evidence-based information with practical lifestyle guidance, I help people make sustainable changes that help promote their wellness, better blood sugar control and an improved quality of life.

Thank you for visiting Diabetes Wellness by Carole. I look forward to helping you or your organization, take the next steps toward learning more about diabetes wellness and healthy living.
