What happens at the initial assessment?
• We will review and discuss your current medication(s), medical history, eating style and habits, and look at your blood sugar level. We will also measure your height, weight and blood pressure. • Please bring all your current medications and glucose meter if you use one. • We will teach you how to effectively monitor your blood sugar using the latest tools which can minimize your discomfort and make the monitoring process easier for you. We will provide you with a glucose meter kit, if indicated. • We will recommend you attend an upcoming class or have an individual session, depending on the results of the initial assessment. Will my insurance cover me taking your class or getting an individual consultation? There is insurance coverage for these services. We bill Medicare and other private insurance plans for diabetes self-management training and medical nutrition therapy. Currently we are able to accept those with health insurance coverage from Affinity Medical Group, Alameda Allian
