Kids in Control! (Pediatric diabetes care)
Learn how you can help your child maintain control of his or her diabetes by enrolling in our Kids In Control! pediatric diabetes program. This program is geared towards parents who have children with diabetes. It offers you the opportunity to work one-on-one with a care manager from the Trust who can help you:
- Understand what you can do to keep your child healthy.
- Maximize your WEA Trust health benefits related to diabetes.
- Work with your health care provider to ensure your child's care is consistent with nationally recommended treatment standards.
- Monitor your child's diabetes to help prevent complications.
- Understand how eating and exercise affects diabetes.
- Track your child's condition with recordkeeping tools.
- Coordinate your child's care with school staff.
The Trust is here to complement your existing health care and provide information you need to make educated health decisions. We understand that you may have questions that can't wait for your next doctor's appointment. That's where we come in.
A care manager will help you develop a program specific to your child's needs. Members who complete the program will be offered incentives to assist with their child's diabetes management.
