Diabetes Simplified

Pillway pharmacists play a vital role in diabetes care. Whether you are newly diagnosed, or have been managing diabetes for many years, we are here to help.

We can recommend the right meter for you and provide meter training over the phone, or virtually to ensure that you are getting accurate and appropriate blood glucose readings.

We can communicate information to your doctor to ensure the medications that you're taking, whether oral medication or insulin, is appropriate for you.

We also provide diabetes medication reviews to ensure that all the other medications are up to date, are appropriate, and are working well for you.

We carry a wide array of diabetic supplies like blood glucose meters, glucose test strips, lancets, insulin pens, and pen needles.

Additionally, you can order insulin pump supplies.

Pillway will package and ship your insulin in specialized, cold shield cryopacks. This packaging will keep insulin within its optimal cold temperatures during transit for up to 36 hours.

The most effective non-drug way of managing diabetes is to live a healthier lifestyle.

Increasing your physical activity may result in better blood sugar and blood pressure control while improving your cardiovascular health. Aerobic exercises such as walking, cycling, or swimming, are often a great choice for diabetics. Pick activities that are enjoyable as that will help with consistency.

If you are a smoker then quitting may also lower your risk of diabetes along with other complications that diabetics are more prone to such as heart disease. Although quitting is often a difficult task, your Pillway pharmacist can assist you with the smoking cessation products available through the pharmacy.
