How do DiaGuides® help diabetics
Each day can bring on new challenges within the life of a diabetic. Navigating health insurance and prior-auths mismanagement, defending against workplace discrimination, while addressing nutritional and mental wellness, are just a few examples specialized skills can be used to address and overcome. In addition, receiving medication counseling from an endocrinologist for immediate health needs, as well as nutritional and product coaching from a nutritionist or diabetes counselor, will setup you up for achieving a long and complications-free life as a diabetic. However, finding and orchestrating the right team of specialized professionals is easier said than done.
