Carol Molfetta, RD, CDE
DCCW Course Coordinator and Presenter - Nutrition
Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Educator
Owner/Director - Pro Health Consulting
Carol’s passion for diabetes partially stems from observing her father’s efforts to manage the disease. From this experience, she has first hand knowledge that prevention of diabetes complications is possible through patient education and behavior modification. Her goal is to help healthcare professionals become more knowledgeable about diabetes and to become inspired to help their patients care for their diabetes to prevent complications.
Carol graduated from Kent State University with a BS in Nutrition and completed a dietetic internship at NY Hospital/Cornell Medical Center. She first achieved her Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) credential in 1990. She has worked in a variety of settings including county government, educational institutions and private consulting.
As a consultant, Carol's career efforts have focused on staff development and program planning. Clients include healthcare, educational institutions, business, and industry. She is an experienced facilitator, lecturer and counselor. When providing patient education, Carol has worked with most age groups from pediatrics to geriatrics as well as a cross section of cultural and economic populations.
From 1995-2005, Carol worked as the lead research nutritionist for the Department of Preventive Medicine at Stony Brook University in New York where she coordinated the Dietary Trial of the Women's Health Initiative; a National Institute of Health research study.
Carol is a member of the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association, the American Association of Diabetes Educators and the local chapters of each of these national organizations.
Carol developed the Diabetes Core Curriculum Workshop in 1994 and acts as the course coordinator, planning and organizing, as well as working with the faculty to ensure material is current and easy to comprehend. Carol presents the Nutrition segment of the course.
