Why Diabetes Management Plus is different
Many living with diabetes can often be living with another chronic condition. Many adults with diabetes also have hypertension, are overweight or obese, and are two to three times more likely to struggle with depression.1,2
Along with tools to help members manage their diabetes, members can also access other support programs, including Hypertension Plus, Standard Weight Management, and Digital Mental Health.
The combination of these programs offers Premera members a holistic approach to managing their whole health and not just their chronic conditions.
