Diabetes

The Diabetes Program educates participants about their condition and the negative health effects of not adhering to care plans or altering unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that worsen the condition.

We provide the tools, connectivity, information and personalized support participants need to better manage their condition.

Many people with diabetes don’t understand the serious health risks associated with their illness.

How the Program Works

Through educational materials, Web tools and telephonic interactions, we help people with diabetes to:

  • Change poor lifestyle behaviors that could lead to the progression of disease

  • Improve self-care skills, including daily foot exams, and self-monitored blood sugar testing at home

  • Receive regular preventive exams and screenings

  • Ensure they are in compliance with essential recommendations by their doctor and the American Diabetes Association

Cost savings are achieved through increased adherence to treatment plans, improved communication with the physician and reductions in diabetes-related utilization.
