Have you been diagnosed with diabetes? Understanding the importance of finding the right balance of medication, nutrition and exercise to self-manage diabetes is essential to having a longer, healthier life for diabetics.
Per the 2021 American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2021 Standards of Care, studies have found that Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) are associated with improved diabetes knowledge and self-care behaviors, lower A1C, lower self-reported weight, improved quality of life, reduced all-cause mortality risk, healthy coping and reduced health care costs.
With a medical referral from your doctor, DSMES is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance providers.
