We’ve created a diabetes toolkit to help membersIn recognition of National Diabetes Month in November, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has developed a diabetes flyer — part of a toolkit of materials that employers can use with their employees to help keep them healthy. We’re encouraging members who have diabetes to reach out to their providers to stay on top of their diabetes care. We let them know it’s important to make sure they have consistent A1c checkups with their primary care provider and a retinal eye exam with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The materials in the diabetes toolkit can be used year-round, not just in November. You’re welcome to use the toolkit — or share the flyer — with patients in your practice. Did you know? According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report 2020,** diabetes is the leading cause of new vision loss. So we encourage you to talk with your patients about the importance of a retinal eye exam and how it fits into their diabetes management plan. **Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan doesn’t own or control this website. |
