Your Pharmacist Can Help You Control Your Diabetes
October is American Pharmacist Month and in honor of that, I'd like to remind everyone how important your pharmacist can be; both in the prevention of Diabetes as well as in helping people manage their Diabetes. Pharmacist Services can include:
- Nutrition and Diet Counseling
- Exercise Instruction
- Blood Glucose Monitoring Advice
- Medication Therapy Management
- Healthy Behavior Management
- Guidance in skin care, foot care, dental care, eye care, proper injection technique, etc.
Studies have shown that when a pharmacist is involved in the management and self-care of patients with Diabetes, both test results and patient outcomes improved.
