Type 2 Diabetes

$0 support to help you understand your numbers, manage blood sugar, and stay on track.

Type 2 diabetes is common, affecting millions of people across the U.S., and early symptoms like thirst, fatigue, and blurry vision are often missed. Regular screenings—including yearly eye exams, foot exams, and urine tests—play an important role in catching complications early. The good news: with lifestyle changes, monitoring, and routine care, Type 2 diabetes is manageable and risks can be significantly reduced. Curative supports you along the way by helping you understand your numbers, monitor your A1c and blood sugar, and stay connected to personalized resources that keep you on top of your health.

Core Curative benefits

Every Curative member has access to:
  • $0 care with a primary care clinician or specialists such as endocrinologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, and ophthalmologists (for diabetic eye exams)
  • $0 preferred medications, including commonly prescribed diabetes treatments when appropriate
  • $0 counseling or therapy, including virtual options
  • Care Navigator guidance for understanding options and choosing a path that feels right for you
  • Baseline Visit with labs and dedicated time with a Curative clinician
