DAV (Disabled American Veterans) has launched a new online diabetes resource page.
Developed in partnership with Dexcom, the new resource page will provide an understanding of the prevalence of diabetes among veterans — especially those with Type 2 diabetes — and various treatment options.
“The diabetes resource page reflects a shared commitment to improving health outcomes for veterans by increasing awareness and access to innovative approaches in diabetes care," DAV's CEO and National Adjutant Barry Jesinoski said. "The collaboration brings together DAV's expertise in veteran support with Dexcom's leadership in glucose monitoring technology.”
The resource page is designed to provide veterans and their caregivers with critical information, tools, and support to better understand and manage diabetes. Veterans are nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as the general population.
"As a veteran myself, I understand firsthand the challenges of managing diabetes and the importance of having access to education and tools like Dexcom CGM to help take control of your health and achieve better outcomes,” said former Army Capt. Mike Steelman, senior vice president at Dexcom Global Market Access.
