In today’s healthcare landscape, value-based outcomes are more than a trending topic; they’re a primary goal. And for individuals living with diabetes, value-based outcomes are the key to a healthy life.

Diabetes management requires a comprehensive approach that includes medication and lifestyle adjustments as well as access to reliable medical supplies. As the industry’s leading diabetes management supplier, Advanced Diabetes Supply benefits patients by ensuring the reliable delivery of supplies while also providing access to experts, educational resources and highly accredited processes that have proven to drive positive patient outcomes.

Effectively managing diabetes plays a crucial role in preventing complications. The diabetes experts at ADS understand this critical need and strive to deliver services and solutions that support value-based care and help members maintain a healthy lifestyle. By making sure clients have a ready supply of diabetes management supplies and providing access to diabetes education, ADS helps foster more consistent adherence to treatment regimens. In fact, the company’s records show that patients who receive a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) from ADS have a 20% higher adherence rate to a diabetes management plan than those who receive supplies directly from a pharmacy. According to diabetesjournals.org, proper use of a CGM as part of a diabetes management plan has many value-based benefits such as:

• 23% less hospitalizations
• Increased quality of life: Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) increased by 0.454 years
• Lower A1c: People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use a CGM can lower their A1C by an average of 0.5 to 1.0%
• Reduced Complications: A 4.9% average lower risk of eye, kidney, nerve and cardiovascular complications in CGM patients versus non-CGM patients
• Lower costs: Patients save an average of $1,355 per year by avoiding complications
