Lane Workforce Wellness is a FREE occupational health and wellness program designed to work hand-in-hand with local employers. It assists with controlling workers' compensation and general healthcare costs. Maintaining good health is crucial for both personal well-being and workplace productivity. At Lane, we understand that proactive health management leads to a healthier, more engaged workforce. That’s why our Workforce Wellness Program includes A1C and Accu-Chek testing, two essential tools for monitoring blood sugar levels and managing diabetes risk.
What Is A1C Testing?
A1C testing measures the average blood glucose levels over the past two to three months. Unlike daily glucose monitoring, which provides a snapshot of blood sugar levels at a given moment, the A1C test offers a broader picture of long-term glucose control. It is a valuable tool for detecting prediabetes and managing diabetes effectively.
Why It Matters:
- Identifies individuals at risk for diabetes early on
- Helps those with diabetes monitor their condition
- Provides insight into lifestyle and dietary impacts on blood sugar levels
What Is Accu-Chek Testing?
Accu-Chek is a brand of blood glucose monitoring systems used to check blood sugar levels in real-time. These tests require a small drop of blood and provide immediate results, helping individuals manage their glucose levels daily.
Benefits of Accu-Chek Testing:
- Enables quick and easy blood sugar monitoring
- Helps individuals make informed dietary and medication decisions
- Supports diabetes management and prevention efforts
