Diabetes self-management training (DSMT) provides people with diabetes the skills to improve their quality of life, but not many people access the program. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) are looking to change that. Last week, they introduced legislation to remove barriers to DSMT for Medicare beneficiaries. The bill is a companion to a House bill introduced by Reps.Tom Reed (R-NY) and Diana DeGette (D-CO). NCOA is working with a diverse group of stakeholders to advocate for the legislation, which would establish a demonstration program for online DSMT, among other provisions.
