Did you know that early detection and management can delay or even reverse the progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes? Having worked in the field of diabetes for most of my professional life, I have always been passionate about raising awareness for early diagnosis. Therefore I want to use this World Diabetes Day to acknowledge that we at Merck Healthcare reaffirm our commitment to empowering everyone to take that crucial first step towards diabetes prevention, supported by their loved ones and the medical professionals. It’s time to talk, take action, and transform lives - collectively. Take the test and understand your risk today: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ediMCQGW   While empowering individuals is crucial, engaging in timely conversations with healthcare professionals is equally essential for driving early diagnosis and effectively managing diabetes. By collaborating and fostering these important discussions, we can create a supportive environment that promotes prevention and proactive care. Remember, prevention requires a collective effort from healthcare professionals, family, friends, and colleagues.   #WorldDiabetesDay2024 #Prediabetes #EarlyType2Diabetes #TimeToTalk

Diabetes Alert Day is an important reminder for individuals to assess their risk for diabetes and take proactive steps to prevent and manage the disease. For plan sponsors, it's also an opportunity to evaluate whether their pharmacy benefit is optimized to lower costs associated with diabetes. Our Diabetes Care Plus Program has proven to be a cost-effective solution for our clients. By capturing financial assistance from diabetes drug manufacturers, we may reduce out-of-pocket costs for both members and plans. The program offers the most prescribed generic preventive medications for diabetes and its related complications as well as select diabetes-related supplies at a reduced or waived cost. In addition to cost savings, the Diabetes Care Plus Program focuses on improving patient outcomes. Through targeted outreach, we encourage non-adherent members to take their diabetic medication(s) as prescribed. This approach reduces healthcare costs by decreasing hospitalizations, emergency room visits, physician office visits, and the use of adjunctive medications. The results speak for themselves. In 2023, one of our clients saved $17.22 PMPM by implementing the Diabetes Care Plus Program.

The power of type 2 diabetes prevention Professor Jonathan Valabhji shared the latest research on the NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP), with findings driving home the impact prevention programs can have in slowing or stopping the progression of #type2diabetes. The research tracked over 4 million cases of #prediabetes from 2017 to 2023 in England, with 26% referred to the DPP. Key findings: 🌟 Completing the NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) was linked to a 42% lower risk of type 2 diabetes. 🌟 Increased engagement with the DPP correlated with reduced risk. 🌟 Weight loss was associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes. Takeaways: 💡 Active participation in prevention programs can significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. 💡 Emphasising weight loss as part of prevention efforts is crucial.

The number of people living with type 2 diabetes in Australia has tripled in the last 30 years & we know there are at least 2 million Aussies living with prediabetes (many who have no idea the path they're on). Once a condition we thought could only be 'managed' with medication and would ultimately lead to death, we now know those living with the condition can put it into remission but more importantly, we know that type 2 diabetes can be prevented entirely! There's an Australian Parliamentary Iniquiry into Diabetes underway to gain and understanding of how to reduce diabetes impact on people & the healthcare system. There's no reason why we can't replicate these results from the NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Program (where completion by those with prediabetes was linked to a 42% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes) here in Australia and reduce the burden of the type 2 epidemic on our healthcare system. #type2diabetes #prediabetes
