English term or phrase: Some third-party insurers offer free blood glucose meters...
In an uncontrolled study conducted at two community pharmacies in Virginia, blood glucose values decreased significantly at 12 months compared to baseline (P < 0.05), while medication adherence was maintained at 90% for those receiving pharmacist review and consultation about their SMBG results. Some third-party insurers offer free blood glucose meters through their drug benefit.

Na última frase e neste contexto, não me faz sentido estarem a falar em "seguradoras" (insurers). Alguém me pode dar uma ajuda nesta frase?

Obrigado.

Explanation:
Diria assim em PT(pt). Creio que "third-party insurers" que apenas dizer "outras seguradoras"...

algumas seguradoras terceirizadas oferecem gratuitamente medidores do nível de glicose sanguíneo


Explanation:
Acredito que se trata de seguradoras de saúde, que oferecem este equipamento gratuitamente aos segurados para minimizar o risco de problemas de saúde (e assim baixar seus custos). O contexto explica que quem auto-monitora o nível de glicose (SMBG) teve resultados positivos de controle.
