Here’s what some clients have said about our Chronic Disease Management program:
“Before I started the program, I hadn’t checked my blood sugar in six months because of my depression. After working with a nurse care manager, I check my blood sugar on a regular basis because I’m more motivated to take care of myself.”
“Before this program, I wasn’t taking care of my diabetes at all. Working with a nurse care manager helps me set aside time to focus on being healthy. Now I exercise every day and am eating healthier. I feel much better.”
“I know how to take care of my diabetes better after working with a nurse care manager. Now I check my feet and shoes every day to prevent me from having problems with my feet because of the diabetes. I didn’t know I needed to do that before the program.”
