Diabetes management training
Those who are diagnosed with diabetes are allowed access to free self-management training. Offered on an outpatient basis, this type of training takes place mainly in a particular group setting and covers all kinds of topics, like monitoring blood sugar, eating better, and administering medication.
Medicare might be able to pay for up to 10 hours of initial training. In some instances, there are two hours of follow-up training every subsequent year.
Nutrition therapy
Those who suffer from diabetes or kidney disease and have had a kidney transplant within 36 months are eligible for free medical nutrition therapy. Covered services might also include an initial nutrition and lifestyle assessment, individual but also group therapy, and follow-up visits.
