English term or phrase: Diabetes Educator (DE)

I will be posting each term individually, but in order to give the proper context, I must give you the entire question that is giving me problems (which contains multiple terms and part of the challenge is differentiating between them):

"Are you currently a practicing, certified diabetes educator, diabetes nurse educator, or a diabetes educator?"

The purpose is to differentiate among the following types of professions or equivalents (in Canada):

Diabetes Educator (DE):
Diabetes Nurse / Nurse Educator – (DNE)
Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE):
Licensed or Registered Nurse (RN or LPN)

So far here's what I'm coming up with, but I'm only guessing as a starting point since I have no idea what the proper terminology is for Canada. I could use any help I can get!

Diabetes Educator (DE): Educateur(trice) en diabétologie
Diabetes Nurse / Nurse Educator – (DNE): Infirmier(ère) educateur(trice) en diabétologie
Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE): Educateur(trice) certifié(e) en diabétologie
Licensed or Registered Nurse (RN or LPN): Infirmier(ère) autorisé(e) ou immatriculé(e)

Also, the are all these acronyms in the source (RN, LPN, DNE, etc.)...should I try to include acronyms in the translation as well or is it best to leave those out?

Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.
