Diabetes

Our Calgary pharmacists will provide you with information on the latest diabetes products and medications to help you manage and monitor you glucose level, lower you risk for complications, and live healthy with diabetes.

We’ll do a one-on-one consultation focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, medications, foot care, and testing your blood sugar. Talk to our Certified Calgary Diabetes Educator about living healthy with Diabetes.

Our comprehensive diabetes services are designed to educate you about diabetes and enable you to successfully manage your health. By doing this we can help you prevent the complications that occur from diabetes, such as damage to your eyes and kidneys. We provide:
