Pharmacy Comparison by location in Sault Ste. Marie: Eastern (and east of the Sault) / Central / Downtown / Western
Your pharmacist is the most accessible professional member of your health care team. By advising you on blood glucose testing methods, medication, and/or insulin, your pharmacist can help you manage your diabetes and other conditions that affect your overall health.
You can discuss concerns you may have about your condition, ie: hypoglycemia, managing blood sugar levels, side effects of medications, and/or any new symptoms you may be experiencing.
If need be, your pharmacist will help you prepare for a discussion with your physician about possible medication or insulin changes.
All pharmacies in the area sell blood glucose monitors, dispense oral diabetic medication and insulin. For specific details of the services offered by each local pharmacy, see below.
