Your Guide to Diabetes & Dialysis Care - Support Resources

Acknowledgement and Prevention

Changing your lifestyle could be a big step toward diabetes prevention and dialysis treatments — and it’s never too late to start. Consider these tips.

Home Health

When it comes to managing diabetes, both home health and home care can play important roles, but they serve different purposes.

Diet and Exercise Plan

Helping to manage diabetes by keeping blood sugar stable. For people undergoing dialysis, a tailored diet and regular gentle exercise are vital for maintaining strength and managing overall health

Transportation

Travel to and from doctor's appointments can be stressful and costly. Many communities offer medical transportation services, sometimes with subsidies to ease financial strain. Families may help with rides, and some patients can drive themselves.

Medical Equipment's

Managing diabetes and dialysis often requires specialized equipment, such as glucose meters, insulin supplies, and dialysis machines or home dialysis setups. Using the right tools ensures accurate monitoring, effective treatment, and better day-to-day management of health.

Insurance

Medical insurance, Medicare and Medicaid can help cover the significant costs of managing diabetes and dialysis, including treatments, medications, and essential equipment. Understanding your policy’s coverage, co-pays, and any available assistance programs is key to reducing out-of-pocket expenses and ensuring consistent care.
