Diabetes is practically a member of my family tree. My Grandpa called it "The diabetes." He'd say, "I got the diabetes." My name is Robert. And I have diabetes. I "got the diabetes". When my doctor told me I had diabetes, you'd have thought I'd be more prepared. We talked about what I needed to do in his office, but by the time I got home I was numb; I didn't even remember half of it. A few days after my appointment, I got a call from Linda, a registered nurse case manager from Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield. She asked how I was doing and we started talking like old friends. She got me started in the Diabetes Health Education Program and in just a few days I began receiving information in the mail about how to check and maintain my blood sugar levels. The Diabetes Education Program provided me with tracking tools and ways to prevent complications of diabetes. Linda also made sure I understood the information and helped me get ready for my next visit with my doctor so I can ask better questions. . . more 
I know I've got friends to help me stay healthy and keep my diabetes under control. The information helped me to help myself.I tinker a bit on the computer, so I went online to find out more about what Arkansas Blue Cross has to offer. I found out that there are programs for a number of conditions like low back pain, heart disease and respiratory problems. Several of my family members covered by Blue Cross have health concerns like these, so I told them to call my friends at Arkansas Blue Cross. That's what they are — friends. back |
