Insights

After joining Level2 Specialty Care, you may be eligible to begin with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and activity tracker. These wearable devices help you see your glucose without fingersticks every day. Then you can begin to work with your Level2 team to understand and improve it. For example, a bowl of cereal might send your glucose skyrocketing but for someone else, it’s just a bump.

Care Team

Level2 Specialty Care provides you with virtual access to a care team of experts including providers, nurses who are Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialists, registered dietitians and coaches. Your care team helps you understand your glucose, build new habits and work toward feeling better. Oh, and you can reach out to them anytime through the Level2 Health app!

Level2 Method

The Level2 Method is a comprehensive approach to improving glucose control based on criteria from the American Diabetes Association (ADA). You will work step by step with your Level2 care team through defined phases to understand what impacts your glucose so you can work to improve it and feel better. Together, we’ll learn — and unlearn — to form new habits, overcome obstacles and celebrate wins!

What’s different about Level2?
We start with glucose.

If you have type 2 diabetes, you know what excess glucose feels like – from feeling exhausted to experiencing pain and more. And since it’s linked to other serious health conditions, you might also be worried about what it means for your future.

But it doesn’t have to be like that. You can learn to see type 2 differently: Not as a condition that needs to be managed but as one that can be improved by reducing glucose. You can even work toward what the American Diabetes Association (ADA) defines as remission from type 2 diabetes. We want you to feel new hope and freedom from type 2.

You will have the opportunity to see your glucose in real time by starting with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that we’ll teach you to use. To change something, you first need to see it: Measuring and understanding glucose is the key to improving it.

Small steps lead to big results.
