WHA WANTS YOU TO BE HEALTHY AND PROACTIVE WITH PREVENTIVE CARE

 


Dilated Retinal Eye (DRE) Test

Living with diabetes means that it's important to take extra care of your eyes. The tiny blood vessels in your eyes are vulnerable to high levels of blood sugar and can be damaged if not checked regularly. This is why a yearly dilated retinal eye test is so important — this test can detect early signs of a condition known as retinopathy caused by diabetes. Having this test once a year can help your doctor know if you need treatment to prevent further damage.

Completion of a dilated retinal eye test – Fill out this form and we'll send you a $25 gift card! When you go to your checkup, talk with your doctor about getting your dilated retinal eye test if you have not done so already. Kudos for taking care of your preventive health!

*To qualify, participants must be active members between 18-75 years of age and living with diabetes. The exam must have been completed within the last year. Limited to one gift card (up to $25 value) per year.


A1C Blood Test

You may know, getting your A1C test helps to manage your diabetes. This test looks at your blood sugar level over the past 3 months. It helps your doctor see if your diabetes care plan is working (it’s good to do this at least once a year). It’s a blood test done at a doctor’s office/lab (different from testing your blood sugar at home). After you get your A1C test, complete this form below and you’ll be automatically entered for a drawing to win a $50 gift card.
