Education: Supporting Individuals with Diabetes
Employers can help people with diabetes reduce their health risks and avoid serious complications (blindness, heart and kidney disease, and amputation) by encouraging good habits to maintain blood sugar levels. Employees also feel better, remain productive and need less medical intervention, which brings down the cost of treating diabetes and can help control overall medical costs.
