DIABETIC MANAGEMENT

Our pharmacists are PharmD certified (Doctorate of Pharmacy) allowing them to provide additional services in comparison to other pharmacies. We strive to provide patient education that goes beyond just the patient’s medications. Educating patients helps improve outcomes and create a strong relationship with our pharmacists.

We are able to provide specific targets to our patients and monitor whether patients are meeting these targets or whether adjustments to therapy need to be made.
Drugs
Our PharmD pharmacists are able to conduct annual medication reviews for diabetic patients. Through these reviews we are able to ensure that your diabetic therapy is appropriate and does not interfere with your remaining medications. We provide direct patient education both about the condition and about self monitoring blood glucose meters. Our pharmacists continue to follow your journey through this condition and will regularly follow up to ensure that your goals are being met.
Exercise / Eating
Diet and physical activity play an integral role into the success of diabetic management. Our pharmacists will provide resources that will help to improve your compliance to a diabetic food guide while making it easier to meet your exercise targets. Certain patients may be referred to an in-house dietician that may better help tailor your dietary needs.
