Diabetes Management Program
When your blood glucose levels are above normal and your body doesn’t produce insulin (or enough insulin), you are considered diabetic. When you found out about your diagnosis of diabetes, you probably had a lot of questions. You learned that you have to monitor your blood sugar. You learned that you have to be careful with planning your meals, and you learned you have to make sure you are getting physical activity. But how do you go about managing all the facets of your diabetes?
At MedWise Worksite Health and Wellness, we know that employees who understand diabetes enjoy a better quality of life than those who are unclear on how to handle the disease. That’s why we offer a number of educational services to help employees know how to manage your diabetes. We want employees to be knowledgeable and in control of their health. MedWise Worksite Health and Wellness Education Services can explain how employees can live life fully with diabetes. We can assist with a diabetes management plan for employees, help employees understand medication, and show employees how to properly monitor blood glucose levels. MedWise can also help employees learn how to plan meals that keeps diabetes under control—and allows employees to enjoy life without worrying about their health.
Wellness Challenges
Research shows that employees are more motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes through incentive-based health and wellness challenges. MedWise Worksite Health and Wellness offers employees challenges that encourage employees to increase their physical activity, manage their weight, and make other healthy changes.
Nutrition Planning
Good nutrition plays a major role in your health, especially if you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes. Nutrition Planning focuses on managing and improving medical conditions such as diabetes and renal failure by adding the right nutrition to your diet.
MedWise offers Nutrition Planning for employees to assure they are focused on good nutritional health. Our nutrition education, counseling and other tips help properly manage your diabetes and improve your quality of life.
Smoking Cessation
Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death in the United States, significantly contributing to heart attack, stroke, several types of cancers, and other chronic diseases. Because MedWise cares about employees long-term health and wellness, we encourage everyone who smokes or uses other tobacco products to kick the habit.
MedWise Tobacco Treatment Services offers a variety of tools and programs to help you stop using tobacco products, including cessation sessions. Our highly skilled staff will create a customized plan for quitting that fits employee needs and lifestyle. The plan will address employee dependence on nicotine and will help employees remain tobacco free for the future.
