/ -- On an average, a person with Diabetes spends 8,760 hour fending for themselves and only 28 minutes a year with their medical professional. In its quest to be an effective companion in a person's self-care journey and help him lead a healthy life, 1mg believes it is important to treat this condition at its root by giving effective care at home, along with the right clinical support. 1mg Diabetes Care Plan (DCP) is aimed at helping individuals regulate rising Hba1c (Glycated hemoglobin) levels and reduce the cost of therapy.
Appropriately managing Diabetes has been shown to lead to lower medical spending and better outcomes, but many people living with diabetes in India still face barriers in managing their diabetes. With a condition like Type-1 diabetes, the impact can be unrelenting for people, who must take medication every day to keep their disease in check. DCP is highly recommended for individuals diagnosed with diabetes for keeping track of their diabetic status and also to provide screening for common health problems like kidney failure, eyesight problems, vitamin deficiencies and blood toxicities. Regular tracking of diabetes and associated conditions is critical for receiving adequate treatment regimen.
