Diabetes and its complications are the first- or second-most expensive disease state in American health care, but many cases of diabetes are preventable. There are resources we can take advantage of to prevent diabetes, as well as to better manage diabetes in people who already have the diagnosis. Join us as we explore ways to detect pre-diabetes, prevent progression to “full blown” diabetes, and provide more effective treatments for people with diabetes.
Participants of this program will:
- Understand the financial impact diabetes has on an employer’s bottom line.
- Understand how individuals can reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
- Understand how individuals with diabetes can better manage their condition.
- Learn about local programs that employers can provide to their employees.
