Why don't more service people take advantage of it? Is there a stigma, or is it that people have a feeling they can handle it all on their own?
It worked great, but they discontinued it.
Do you know why?

I am not sure why more don't take advantage of these programs at the VA. Not sure it could be pinned down to just oen reason. Stigma for someof the services could be one. A feeling of losing self sufficiency could be the another. Distance to the hospital. Poor communication of their existance and availability to patients.
As far as why the insurance discontinued the program for diabetics. My best guess is that they are money grubbing insurance company who are short sited and saw the nurse on the phone with the patient every month as an unnecessary cost. Just short sited bullshit.
