Diabetes Management

CeltiCare has a special program for members with diabetes. Members in this program receive a Case Manager to help answer questions. They also work with you and your PCP. We want to help you gain better control of your diabetes.

The Case Manager can:

• Answer questions about diabetes
• Help you control it
• Help you get the supplies you may need
• Remind you about tests related to diabetes
• Work with your PCP to help meet your own needs

We will work with you and your PCP to help keep your diabetes from controlling your life.

Follow the Signs to Good Diabetes Care!

 Diabetes can affect every part of the body. If you have diabetes, you should see your doctor at least once a year even if you are not having problems. There are tests that can help you manage your diabetes. Your doctor may have you get the following important tests: 

• Eye exam – helps prevent blindness

• Foot exam – helps prevent loss of toes or your foot

• HbA1c blood test – helps monitor your blood sugar control

• LDL blood test – helps prevent heart disease

• Urine test – checks how your kidneys are working

Life is full of risks. Don’t take chances with diabetes.
