3 Keeping People in the Safe Zone The safe zone, the healthy place for people with chronic conditions like diabetes, is not a destination - it s an ongoing goal through someone s life. The Livongo for Diabetes Program is designed to help people move to the safe zone and stay in the safe zone. According to the American Diabetes Association, the target range for blood glucose (BG) is mg/dl and for HbA1c is 7%. 1 By avoiding low blood glucose episodes, people can prevent urgent visits to their primary care physician or the emergency room. 2 And by reducing the occurrence of high BG, people are able to prevent long term complications of diabetes such as microvascular events (kidney failure, blindness) and macrovascular events (heart attacks, strokes) - leading indicators of quality of life and cost savings. 3 LIVONGO HELPS PEOPLE STAY IN AND MOVE TO THE SAFE ZONE Livongo members are more likely to be in the target range within 30 days of activating and achieve substantial, sustained improved time-in-range over the course of their membership. After one year, Livongo members reduce their likelihood of having a BG reading of <80mg/dL up to 23% and reduce their likelihood of having a BG reading >180mg/dL by up to 21%. 4 2

4 Reducing HbA1c Improves Health 4 Glycemic control in the form of lower HbA1c produces savings. 5 HbA1c is a standard test to measure a person s average blood glucose levels over three months. It is the most common measure used to assess how well a person with diabetes has managed their condition. Improving glycemic control improves and extends lives. With a reduction of HbA1c by 1%, we reduce health risks 6 : Death from Diabetes Heart Attacks Microvascular Complications Peripheral Vascular Disease 21% 14% 37% 43% HBA1C DECREASES FOR LIVONGO MEMBERS 6 For Livongo members a who utilize the latest technology and coaching (Livongo for Diabetes Program) the mean HbA1c decreases from 8.0% at registration to 7.1% at 90 days and the reduction is sustained to 7.0% at 180 days. b Each point in reduction is directly correlated to cost savings. HbA1c 8.0% 7.5% 7.0% 6.5% Self Reported at Registration 90 Days 180 Days a Livongo members who checked frequently enough to qualify for Nathan s method and who received coaching as defined by alert outreach after high or low blood glucose readings or scheduled coaching sessions. b Members self-report HbA1c at registration and Livongo estimates HbA1c from mean blood glucose values at 90 days and 180 days. 3

5 Livongo Can Deliver Cost Savings 5,6 People with diabetes incur total medical costs of $11,000 to $13,700 each year, of which $7,900 are diabetes-specific costs including diabetes supplies ranging from $180 - $660 annually. With complications, the annual cost of a person with diabetes can be as much as $20,700 compared to the $4,000 annual cost of healthcare for a person without diabetes. 8,9 $73 99 Estimated Cost Savings per Member, per Month Studies have shown that a 1% reduction in HbA1c yields substantial savings. If we apply a diabetes cost model 5 to the HbA1c decrease of 1% for Livongo members observed in the first 180 days, estimated cost savings for Livongo members is $73 - $99 per month. c x Return on Investment in the first 6 months Subtracting the $15-55 per person monthly cost of diabetes supplies replaced by Livongo and assuming the Livongo list price of $75 per member per month, an investment in the Livongo for Diabetes Program yields a x ROI in the first six months of the program. c Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics medical index to inflate cost savings from 1995 to
