With diabetes on the rise in the U.S., patient adherence to diabetes medications remains critical. Issues of affordability and price continue to impact patients’ willingness to start and stay on their medications. As a result, many diabetics drop medications in the middle of therapy, or fail to take prescriptions altogether.

Two new studies by CVS Caremark demonstrate successful interventions for improving adherence to diabetes medication. The first, published yesterday in the American Journal of Pharmacy Benefits, indicates that $0 generic co-pays and reduced co-pays can significantly improve medication adherence. Key outcomes include:
• Patients in value-based insurance plans (VBIDs) had significantly higher prescription initiation rates for both insulin and oral diabetes medicines
• Patients with VBIDs had significantly lower discontinuation rates for both insulin and oral diabetes medicines

The second, a case study published in this month’s American Journal of Health-System Pharmacists, demonstrates how an educational diabetes management program implemented by CVS Caremark in Polk County, Florida improved key clinical measurements for enrolled members and reduced emergency room visits and in-patient hospital admissions, after one year.

As part of the program, enrolled Polk County employees agree to work with the CVS Caremark clinical pharmacist, located on-site at the County’s employee health clinic, to develop individualized care plans and coordinate regular follow-up. Enrolled members receive co-pay waivers on disease-related medications (generic and preferred brands) as well as related supplies and non-prescription products.

Study outcomes include:
• After one year the reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin values (HbA(1c), a critical measurement of blood sugar levels) was especially high among members in the critical risk group, with nearly 78 percent of these members achieving a significant reduction.
• Medical claims data revealed a 30 percent decrease in all-cause hospitalizations and a 24 percent decrease in ER visits for enrolled members.

Natural Diabetes Cures

First of all, I would like to make a disclaimer. There is no known cure for diabetes and I am not suggesting that there is one.
However, with that said, there is a ton of research and documentation on various nutrients, supplements and even diet changes that can benefit and help if you have diabetes.
Although there may not be a "cure" there are things that you can do to improve the condition, depending on the type of diabetes that you have and how severe it is.
Obviously there are certain food to avoid altogether if you really want to do your body good. These include refined sugar products such as candy, ice cream, cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, soda, jam and the like.
Even natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup and molasses should be used sparingly.
Drink plenty of water if you can and try and consume 8 glasses of pure water daily. An alkaline diet is best including lots of fresh vegetables, especially raw vegetables and salads. You can eat as much of theses healthy foods as you like as cooked foods tend to cause more of a rise of glucose in the body than do raw fruits and vegetables.
Eat plenty of fruits such as grapefruit, bananas, granny smith apples, figs, cranberry, blackberry, pomegranate, kiwi and citrus fruits.
Eating a high fiber diet is ideal since it lowers the body's need for insulin. Make sure you are including foods such as barley, oatmeal, almond meal, dried beans, kidney beans, cooked black beans, peas, cereals and chickpeas in your daily diet.
It is extremely important to monitor your glucose level if you are a diabetic or have pre-diabetes symptoms. Here is a guide that will help you measure the proper levels:

Upon waking up (and before breakfast), your levels should be between 80 and 120. This is considered to be a healthy range.

Before meals your levels should also be between 80 and 120.

Two hours after you eat meals, your levels should be 170 or less.

Before lunch, it should drop back down to 80-120.

Before you go to bed, it is ideal to be between 100 and 140.

At 3am (while sleeping), it is ideal to be between 70 and 110.

While fasting, it is ideal that you stay in the 70 to 100 range.
