Pricking fingertips and checking blood sugar levels is a pillar of good diabetes self-management.\u00a0Those blood sugar data points are powerful tools in dosing medications, making sense of exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet.\u00a0 But there are several hurdles that prevent people with diabetes from checking their blood sugar regularly, like jumping through all the hoops that insurance companies require for supply orders.\u00a0 (We\u2019ve all sat on hold with insurance companies, haven\u2019t we?\u00a0 No one likes that at all.)<\/p>\n

This is where Diathrive<\/a> comes in.\u00a0Diathrive doesn\u2019t work with insurance companies; they work for people with diabetes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diathrive is a blood glucose testing subscription service that takes the guess work out of insurance coverage, copays, and supplies so that you can focus on your health.\u00a0 No more ordering supplies and wondering when they\u2019ll arrive or what the cost will be.\u00a0 No more shuffling through paperwork to see if your deductible has been met.\u00a0No more time wasted on phone calls with payers to see if you can use more than three blood glucose test strips per day.\u00a0 Haggling over coverage, pricing, and delivery becomes a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Diabetes management is not a one-size-fits all sort of enterprise, which is what makes the Diathrive model so effective.\u00a0 Our team had a chance to check out the Diathrive way of doing things, receiving one of their starter kits for review purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The blood glucose meter we received feels familiar to our long-term PWD staffers but was also easy enough for even the newbies to set up.\u00a0 The kick off kit comes with a glucose meter, lancing device, lancets, test strips, and control solution so that you can open the box and hit the ground running with reliable data and confidence.\u00a0 Setting up the meter took only a few seconds \u2013 once we confirmed the date and time, we were good to check our first BG.\u00a0 Number displays on the meter are nice and big, making it easy to use, and the meter also alerts for things like ketone checks and provides 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90-day blood sugar averages so you can have a sense of how your data is mapping.\u00a0 You can download your data to your computer using a USB cable, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Diathrive<\/p>\n

The lancing device was comfortable to use, with five depth options and a package of lancets at the ready for switching out as needed.\u00a0 The Diathrive phone number is printed on the base of the lancing device, which is a really nice touch in case you need to reach out to their team \u2013 no need to scramble to find the number.\u00a0 (Small things make a big difference!)\u00a0 And checking BGs only took a few seconds, with the results matching up to the meters that our team were using previously, offering a nice boost of confidence in the technology that\u2019s offered by Diathrive. (And if you need a spare meter or lancing device, you\u2019re able to conveniently order one from their online store \u2013 nice perk.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pricing models for subscriptions are affordable \u2013 if you\u2019re checking once a day, you\u2019ll receive 100 test strips to last you three months, costing $8 per month.\u00a0 The prices go up as you check more \u2013 see the graphic below for costs per plan.\u00a0 Each plan delivers a three-month supply and you\u2019re billed quarterly, so if you need to make changes, you can pause the service or add more at your convenience.\u00a0The option to pause or increase is a great one because it keeps you from paying for supplies you don\u2019t need and also making sure you always have enough!\u00a0 Having a subscription plan makes supply budgeting more predictable, adding peace of mind to your diabetes management.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Diathrive<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s strange how piercing the tip of your finger can be one of the most reassuring moments in a life with diabetes, but that data is necessary.\u00a0 A big thank you to the team at Diathrive<\/a> for making blood sugar checks easier, more accessible, and more empowering for people with diabetes everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
