If you have prediabetes or diabetes, you aren’t alone. More than 1 in 3 people in the US have prediabetes and about 1 in 10 has diabetes.
Diabetes is a common condition that can be prevented or managed with exercise, food, and medications.
But, for many people, diabetes can be hard to manage.
If you are having trouble keeping your A1c and blood sugar at healthy levels, Chase Brexton Health Care’s myA1C inCheck Diabetes Management program may be right for you.
There are three main components to the program. With these we’ll work together and make a treatment plan that fits your life and your needs. A realistic treatment plan that you can stick with and that works just for you.
Nutrition Counseling & Education
Food is important for us. Not only physically, but socially and emotionally. Healthy eating and activity can do a lot to help manage your diabetes.
But you may think that healthy eating means you can't eat the food you love. You might think you need to start training for a marathon and drink nothing but kale smoothies. Nope. (Of course, if you want to train for a marathon and drink kale smoothies, we’ll have your back! )
Your myA1C inCheck Registered Dietitian will get to know you, your favorite foods, your least favorite foods, and how much time you have for cooking, eating, and exercise. They will work with you to find meal plans and recipes that are satisfying and delicious. Plus, they will help you to create eating and exercise habits that fit your life and help control your diabetes.
Expert Pharmacy Guidance
There are many medications available to help control your blood sugar. But, because everyone's diabetes is different, finding the right medication can be hard. Medication is an important part of your treatment plan.
Your myA1C inCheck team includes expert clinical pharmacists, specialized pharmacy technicians, and patient navigators to help you find the right medications. They will help you understand your medications and develop a medication treatment plan that is the best for you and your type of diabetes.
Specialized Care Above and Beyond
As a patient of myA1C inCheck, your support goes even farther. Your provider, clinical pharmacists, patient navigator, and your registered dietitian will provide you with:
- Free pharmacy delivery services
