Completing the Circle of Care

You rely on many supportive relationships to help you manage diabetes -- your circle of care. Who is in your circle of care?

• Your family.Whether you have a child with diabetes, or you're the person at the center of the circle, diabetes affects the whole family. Your family members can be your strongest source of emotional support.
• Your friends.Friends are key to your well-being -- they keep you active, engaged, and laughing.
• Your healthcare team.From your primary doctor and any specialists you see to your dietitian and certified diabetes educator, your healthcare team has an incredibly important role in shaping your self-management program and adjusting it as your needs change.
• The community.Many people are working for your success, from diabetes associations and researchers, to insurance companies and legislators. Together, they are all part of better self-care solutions and, ultimately, a cure.
• In addition, the ACCU-CHEK brand helps complete your circle of care by offering more innovative choices to collect, analyze, and act on information for better diabetes self-management. We also provide encouragement, tips, and tools on our Web site, and make the ACCU-CHEK Customer Care service center available 24 hours a day.

Feeling better -- physically and emotionally -- is what living better is all about. And that's the goal for all of us within your circle of care.
