Services for Members With Diabetes

Diabetes & Prediabetes Education

Learning about your condition is the first step to better health. As an IHN-CCO member, you can get free help to manage diabetes or keep it from getting worse.

You may get one-on-one visits or join group classes. Diabetes educators can guide you, and a nutrition expert can help you choose healthy foods. These services make it easier to manage blood sugar, improve health and feel sure of your care plan.

Talk with your primary care provider or care team to find the options that fit you best.
