Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2 is covered under Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs). Managing diabetes takes more than measuring your blood glucose. The condition comes with many challenges. To make managing these challenges easier, AMS offers a Diabetes Care Programme. This programme offers members living with diabetes and who join the programme, more benefits and tools compared to just registering for diabetes on the Chronic Condition Benefit.
Studies have shown that patients have the best health outcomes when one Healthcare Professional leads their care and coordinates with other healthcare providers, like dietitians and foot specialists (podiatrists). By receiving care from a team who work together and follow the same plan, you get the best possible advice suited to your condition.
Managing diabetes is complicated. Using our care programme for diabetes-related care doesn't have to be. We have a dedicated call centre available to help you.
