Our diabetes management program, CHOOSE CONTROL, empowers patients to take ownership of managing their condition – helping them live well with diabetes.

1 in 10 Americans live with the disease but millions have learned to live well with diabetes. Our Choose Control program gives patients the tools they need to manage their disease, and it can reduce the chance of their diabetes causing a hospital visit.

Let our skilled clinicians take care of you!
