Diabetes Education at Your Duarte Pharmacy

Manage Your Diabetes with Help from Your Pharmacist

Your Duarte pharmacist can do so much more for you than refill prescriptions or provide over-the-counter medications. If you have diabetes, pharmacists can work with you to provide diabetes education, medication management, and much more. Our pharmacists work directly with physicians to identify, address, and resolve medication-related issues in diabetes patient populations. Diabetes patients are at high risk for medication-related complications, but with proper education, patients are at much lower risk. You can count on the Duarte pharmacists at Pax Pharmacy to provide the education you need to fight diabetes from all angles.

Avenues of Diabetes Education and Management

As a patient with diabetes, your health lies in the consistency and diligence of your medication management, personal adherence to a healthy lifestyle, and understanding of what to watch for.

Your pharmacist can provide diabetes education and management modalities, including:

  • Blood sugar monitoring: Pharmacists can teach you how to use your blood sugar monitor, how to interpret results, and what to do to remedy too high or too low blood sugar.
  • Medication education: Our team can explain how your diabetes medication works, the different types of insulin, self-injection techniques, and medication storage.
  • Lifestyle management: Your pharmacist can provide guidance on diet, exercise, and stress management. Managing diet, exercise, and mental/emotional health can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Side effect management: Pharmacists can help you understand and be aware of the potential side effects of medications you are taking to manage your diabetes. This education can help protect you from emergencies or unexpected side effects.
  • Medication adherence: Our team can explain the importance of medication adherence and how to prevent missed doses or other issues with adherence.
  • Diabetes complications: Your pharmacist can help you understand the complications that can occur if diabetes is left uncontrolled. These complications may include kidney disease, nerve damage, feet issues, and eye problems.
