What You Will Learn
The management of type II diabetes is a growing challenge for insurers, plan sponsors and individuals, and there are new solutions available to those with a diagnosis.
On November 24, 2022 we will examine innovations in diabetes care from the lens of a physician, an optometrist, and a pharmacist. Each of these professions provide critical care to patients with diabetes and rely on benefits plan design to support their efforts. Without appropriate access to care to support the management of diabetes, plan costs and the risk of co-morbidities rise.
