TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF DIABETES CARE

Ciba Health is a patient-centered entity that focuses on preventive and holistic medicine. Innocent Clement, Founder & CEO of Ciba Health Digital Therapeutics writes about the Ciba Health Type 2 Diabetes reversal program.

Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. In the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, having diabetes increases the risk of death by 50%. Furthermore, nine out of 10 people with prediabetes do not know they have it and when the condition becomes full-blown, it affects all aspects of a person’s day-to-day life — causing several issues including fatigue, lack of focus, anxiety, mood swings, and sexual dysfunction.

In addition, diabetes often results in kidney disease, nervous system complications, gum disease, and amputation of limbs. For employers, having diabetic employees can be expensive. More than $20 billion is lost annually due to unplanned, missed days of work related to diabetes. While it sounds hopeless, there are proven ways to reverse the disease. Ciba Health can help.

BESIDES LIFE-CHANGING BENEFITS FOR INDIVIDUALS, SELF-INSURED COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE ALREADY SEEING UP TO A THREE-TO-ONE RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT AND A POSITIVE IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY.

Ciba Health, the personalised digital therapeutics and virtual care platform has launched a new Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Program that allows patients to learn about their unique diabetes drivers, achieve metabolic flexibility, and create life-long changes. Besides life-changing benefits for individuals, selfinsured companies in the United States are already seeing up to a three-to-one return on their investment and a positive impact on employee productivity.

In 2021 Ciba Health announced its partnership with Lockton Companies, the world's largest privately-owned, independent insurance brokerage firm. Ciba Health is disrupting and revolutionizing the treatment of pre and type 2 diabetes by reversing it, and we are proud to get recognition from industry leaders. We’re leveraging cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure long-term metabolic flexibility, which is a game-changer in the diabetes treatment space.

Self-insured companies are excited that something like this is finally on the market. Not only because it can help their employees to be healthy, happy, and more productive, but it will also enable them to save and shift their budget from treating diseases to investing in prevention and the general well-being of their employees.

About the Ciba Health Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Program:

While “don’t eat carbs” is how a conventional doctor or endocrinologist would chiefly advise a patient with type 2 diabetes, this unique program helps achieve metabolic flexibility* — the body’s ability to burn available carbohydrates and fats efficiently without the help of external resources.

The program patients collaborate with a physician, dietitian, and health coach while leveraging wearable technology and customized, data-driven dietary supplements based on clinical assessment and lab tests. As a result, they can expect to eradicate the root causes that affect blood sugar levels instead of simply masking symptoms with medications. Ciba Health sets realistic goals that make lifestyle changes easy to achieve. There is no need for strict diets or restricting carbohydrates since the aim is to decrease insulin resistance in a sustainable way.

WHICH IS A GAME-CHANGER IN THE DIABETES TREATMENT SPACE.
