Welcome to BSW Be Well™ with Diabetes — a program for Baylor Scott & White Health Plan members with diabetes. Our goal is to help you manage your condition and improve your health.
Keep in mind that everyone's health journey is different, especially with diabetes. You may have some days when it feels like it is more difficult to manage, and some days when it is easier. However, your efforts do make a difference! Ultimately, what matters most is making progress toward your goals.

What's in it for you?
- If you sign up and complete the initial requirements, your copays for diabetes medications and testing supplies will be waived for up to 12 months.
- You will be eligible for a free glucometer and a free app to track your blood sugars.
- You will be enrolled in the BSW Be Well™ Diabetes program and BSW Be Well™ Coaching, with eight virtual coaching sessions.
- A clinical pharmacist will review your medication list for drug-related problems and will be available to meet with you for any questions you may have about your medications.
How does that help?
With access to no-cost diabetes medications and monitoring systems, you won't have to put your health on hold if money gets tight. The BSW Be Well™ Coaching program can identify simple changes that will improve your health—and provide tips on how to make those changes as easy as possible. Having a pharmacist available to answer your questions will help you stay better informed about your medications and how they may be affecting your health.
Good blood sugar control can be a challenge, but you can take control of your numbers. Remember that life's challenges can make good control more difficult, so give yourself the grace to ride out the storm and then get back on track.

Got a question?
You're probably not the only one who wants to know. Check out our FAQ for answers to common questions.
Stress can negatively impact blood sugar and can lead to a sense of overwhelm. Find time to relax and enjoy life, whether that is being with friends or family, taking a nice walk in the park, being kind to a stranger, listening to a fun podcast or singing out loud on your way to work. Make it a point to make yourself (and others) smile and remember the feeling of joy.
