- What key health metrics, such as glycemic control, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, are essential for regularly monitoring members with diabetes? Have you observed disparities in controlling these markers among different demographic groups within your covered population?
- How proactive and engaged do you find members to be in understanding and self-managing their diabetes daily? How does their level of health literacy appear to influence their diabetes outcomes?
- What educational resources or interventions could benefit members upon initial diabetes diagnosis (e.g., medication adherence, nutrition, lifestyle modification)? In your experience, what are common knowledge gaps that persist among members with diabetes?
