Diabetes Disease Management Program

We want to help all Passport Advantage members with diabetes stay as healthy as possible, so we created the Diabetes Disease Management Program.

What does this program do?

A Diabetes Disease Management nurse is here to answer any questions you have.  He or she can help you:

• Understand your diabetes.
• Understand your diabetes medicines (insulin and pills).
• Get supplies and equipment (test strips, glucometer, and syringes).
• Find care from special providers, like endocrinologists, podiatrists, and ophthalmologists).
• You may get helpful diabetes information sent to you in the mail several times a year.

A nurse may let your provider know about your diabetes.  Your provider is an important part of your care.  Please talk to him or her any time you think your diabetes is not under control.
