Controlling Diabetes Starts at Home
As a healthcare professional, your personal support and treatment for people with
diabetes is a vital part of their successful blood glucose control. But it can’t
stop there. For many adults with diabetes, the vast majority of their diabetes management
choices are made by themselves at home without the immediate help of their diabetes
care team. In addition to following your prescribed plan of care, your patients
need the information and tools to empower them to make the right choices about their
diabetes care. Through regular blood glucose monitoring, careful meal planning,
staying active, and taking medications as prescribed, patients can reduce their
risk for serious diabetes related complications and lead a happier, healthier life
with diabetes.
The Better Care Program provides information patients need and the caring support
they deserve.
At AmMed Direct, we believe that diabetes self-management education is the foundation
to better care and improved outcomes. That’s why we developed The Better Care Program.
This unique program provides a bridge that connects people with diabetes – with
the help they need to follow their prescribed plan of care.
