March 22 is Diabetes Alertness Day: A helpful reminder to monitor and prevent diabetes

Every fourth Tuesday of March, millions of Americans observe the American Diabetes Association Alert Day as part of the Association’s ongoing diabetes prevention and education efforts in the United States.

Moreover, the prevalence of diabetes and other chronic diseases in the Veteran population is a serious challenge to Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) mission of delivering the best possible quality care for Veterans.

One in four Veterans had diabetes in 2017 according to the National Diabetes Statistics Reports. Since then, the diagnosis of diabetes has continued to rise in this country.

This modern day, being able to monitor diabetes calls for an effective virtual diabetes and chronic disease monitoring and management solution at patient’s fingertips.

To help Veterans combat this serious health risk, DSS, Inc. has partnered with Diasyst, Inc. a leading specialist in the development of chronic disease management solutions.

“Virtual medical technology is becoming a standard of care. Diabetes automated, simplified and conquered is the core value of our service. With Diasyst, clinicians and Veterans can track glucose and medications in real time, paving the way to empower care teams, providers, and diabetic patients in managing this chronic disease of our time,” said Chun Yong, CEO, Diasyst.

Diasyst helps providers and care teams save time while improving patient care, engagement and satisfaction as it allows care teams to streamline labor-intensive work. With Diasyst, care teams can manage diabetic Veterans anywhere, in one place, helping to keep them healthy at home.

Likewise, Diasyst helps patients take control of their condition by tracking their numbers and medications with ease, while gaining insight into what those data means to their health. Veterans using Diasyst receive round-the-clock specialty care and monitoring to manage and maintain healthy glucose levels. This reduces diabetes-related complications, and will ultimately reduce emergency visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions.
