Pharmacies
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.
Your Pharmacist can help you prepare for a discussion with your physician about possible medication or insulin changes. If you are taking three or more prescription medications, you may qualify for a 30 minute MedsCheck consultation with your Pharmacist which will be covered by OHIP. Ask your Pharmacist for more information or call the MedsCheck infoline at 1-866-255-6701
