Medpoint Advantage for Diabetics
Has anyone here heard of this? Its zero out of pocket for diabetics. Insurance companies pay for this for the diabetic. The customer recieves a Diabetic kit. The Diabetic Kit each Member receives includes a blood glucose testing monitor, blood glucose test strips, lancet device and lancets, and glucose control solution, and a holder for the monitor. At the end of the day, they plug in the holder, put the monitor in it and the holder calls an 800 numer and transmits the information.
Medpoint advantage is not a diabetic supply company.
The Advantage is they are able to monitor the diabetics daily results. The doctor is able to see the daily results instead of relying on a 3 month average which has been the standard for years. This gives a better understanding of what is going on with your blood sugars. The doctor is able to better treat his/her patient.
If you do not have diabetes or know someone who does it is difficult to understand that high blood sugars can cause blindness, ESRD, loss of limbs, etc. It is something that if controlled and monitored, can be a life saver.
If you are a diabetic or know someone who is... this is a great thing to have. Contact me at mdonaldson@insurer.com for an application and I will email or fax it to you..

Diabetes is not a life sentence to a rigid and restrictive menu plan (and that the diabetic diet is mostly myth). Instead, nutritional management of diabetes is a lifestyle change balancing moderation and healthy food choices.
A registered dietitian, preferably one who is also a certified diabetes educator (or CDE) and/or is experienced in diabetes care, is an essential resource for learning more about individualized menu planning and food choices with diabetes.
Food and Diet by Diabetes Type
While food is a factor in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes management, the rationale behind dietary adjustments in each is different. Those with type 1 diabetes base their insulin dosage in part on what they eat. Those with type 2 diabetes often use their dietary choices as a method (for some, the primary method) of controlling their blood glucose levels.
Type 1 Diabetes and Diet
Learning how to calculate carbohydrate grams and account for other important food factors, such as fiber intake, is essential to good blood glucose control for people with type 1 diabetes.
If you are on standard insulin therapy (i.e., your insulin doses stay the same from day-to-day), you need to consume roughly the same number of carbohydrate grams daily to avoid blood sugar highs and lows. People on standard insulin therapy generally use simple carbohydrate counting, which sets a certain number of insulin units for every 15 grams of carbohydrates eaten (15 g=1 carb choice). Your healthcare team can help you determine the appropriate amount of daily carbohydrates for your particular insulin regimen. People who are overweight or obese have weight loss issues to take into account when developing an eating plan. A registered dietitian experienced in diabetes management can help determine the optimal daily amount of carbohydrate and calorie intake. Exercise is anintegral part of any weight loss routine, so patients with type 2 diabetes should work with their healthcare team to create a safe and effective individualized fitness plan.
Those with type 1 diabetes who are controlling their diabetes with flexible insulin therapy are able to adjust the amount of insulin taken before a meal to counteract, or “cover,” the grams of carbohydrates that are about to be eaten, which also allows them to vary their carb intake from day to day. Insulin dose is calculated based on an “insulin to carbohydrate” ratio that establishes a set number of insulin units for a certain quantity of carbohydrate grams. The insulin to carbohydrate ratio varies from person to person; work with your healthcare team to determine what ratio is right for you.
Type 2 Diabetes and Diet
One of the main treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes is medical nutrition therapy (MNT). In simplest terms, MNT is adjusting dietary intake to minimize dramatic highs and lows in blood glucose and keep levels within a safe target range. Carbohydrate counting if a useful tool for keeping diabetes under control.
In addition, as weight and body mass decreases in type 2 patients, so does insulin resistance, so MNT and any medication regimen should be constantly re-evaluated to ensure blood glucose levels stay within a safe range.
Other Considerations
Medical complications of diabetes such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or kidney disease may require some dietary adjustments (i.e., sodium restriction, low-fat, low-protein). Again, a registered dietitian can help build a meal plan that fits all your individualized medical needs.
Thought this article would be useful to you.

good post goodnatured, jitu, you could ask your doctors office for a recommended list of foods also or go on any diabetic site and they should define what the foods are that a diabetic person should and should not eat.
