That's why we offer Living Healthy with Diabetes, a program that puts your employees in touch with diabetes experts. With appropriate treatment, the disease can be manageable. Living Healthy with Diabetes provides education, encourages good health maintenance and prevention habits and even reminds your employees when it's time for regularly scheduled medical exams and testing. We contract with Americann Healthways to help administer the program. If you or someone you know has diabetes, you're probably aware of the serious health risks involved.
Complications of diabetes can lead to blindness, heart and kidney disease, and even amputation.
These complications can be greatly reduced by educating your employees and encouraging good habits to maintain blood sugar levels. The incidence of complications from diabetes is a major factor in rising health care costs. We believe prevention is key to improving management of the disease, and at the same time, keeping treatment costs down. How The Service Works Living Healthy with Diabetes provides ongoing communication between AmericanHealthways professionals and your employees and their providers. This support service is provided in addition to regular physician care.
