We have often read about the effects of type 2 diabetes on day-to-day health, and how this affects workforce productivity and employers’ health plan decisions. But benefits like dental and vision insurance are not often part of the conversation when it comes to diabetes management and its impacts on workforce health. Understanding the impact of diabetes on dental and vision health can help brokers and employers develop benefits strategies that support employee wellness and control health care costs.
