Explore diagnosis support and diabetes management
When you’re diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor may start you on medication. If your health plan includes access to medication support through regence.com or the Regence app, you can compare prescription drugs for side effects, cost, safety and effectiveness. You can even chat with a pharmacist online to get peace of mind about your options.
People with diabetes are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high triglycerides—all of which raise your risk for heart disease. See how diabetes and heart disease go hand in hand, and what you can do to improve your heart health.
Our care managers can work with you one-on-one, whether you need support through a new diagnosis or resources for living with diabetes. They can answer questions about Medicare diabetes coverage, guide you in making informed treatment decisions and make sure you get the most from your benefits.
