World Diabetes Day was November 14 and MSU HR is here to remind you that if you are living with diabetes, Linvongo can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Livongo is a diabetes management program offered completely free to MSU employees and their spouses\/dependents. The Livongo program aims to reduce the burden on those living with diabetes by offering technology and support to help members easily manage their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can enroll for Livongo<\/a> at any time and it takes less than 10 minutes to sign up. Once you register, you will receive a welcome kit in the mail. The kit contains your own Livongo connected meter, unlimited testing strips, a lancing device, lancets, a carrying case, and optional coaching by a healthcare professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the first to enroll in Livongo was Jeff Brodie, a Management Analyst for MSU Human Resources, who was diagnosed with diabetes in 2011. Here\u2019s what Jeff had to say about his experience using Livongo: \u201cThere is nothing to lose at all, and everything to gain. Even if you sign up and do the [minimum], you will be healthier than if you didn\u2019t sign up at all.\u201d You can read more about Jeff\u2019s experience using Livongo in this previous HR blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about using your free Livongo benefit, visit the Livongo for Diabetes Management webpage<\/a>.
