My experience includes 25 years as a nutritionist and 15 years as a Certified Diabetes Educator. I am nicknamed the Minister of Diabetes by my patients for my passion and motivation to empower lives. Currently I am working as a Diabetes Nutrition Specialist at the Diabetes and Nutrition Center of Memorial Regional Hospital, an accredited diabetes education program in Hollywood, FL. I am the past-President and leader for South Florida Association of Diabetes Educators. I have planned and organized many events in South Florida to promote diabetes education, including working on Divabetic a diabetes expo to educate and empower women with diabetes. I have appeared on local news and radio stations as an expert in the field of diabetes. My knowledge and experiences have helped to motivate people with diabetes to improve their outcomes.

| Janice Nadeau, RN, BSN, CCM, CDE I am originally from a small town in New Jersey, outside of Philadelphia. I attended Jefferson Medical College Hospital School of Nursing in Philadelphia right out of high school. It was a 3 year diploma program. I moved to Florida in 1969 and then went to the University of Miami where I received my BSN. I have worked in many different areas of nursing. I became a certified case manager (CCM) in 1992. Then in 1999, I worked on a program case managing people with diabetes who were on Medicaid. This gave me the experience and the hours I needed to take the exam to become a CDE. I became certified in 2004. In 2007, I attained a full time position as a diabetic educator at West Boca Medical Center. I do the DSME program, in-house education, and also work ½ days in our endocrinologist’s office. Prior to this position, I taught the DSME program part time for a medical supply company. I am a widow and have a son who will be graduating from law school this year. I am proud to be the current treasurer of the SFADE. |

I worked at Hartford Hospital in Hartford Connecticut for 2 years as charge nurse on a 20 bed oncology unit. I moved to Florida in 1983, when I started working at Parkway Regional Medical Center in North Miami Beach as a staff nurse. Over the years I worked as relief charge and assisted with education and orientation of staff.
