At TerryWhite Chemmart Nelson Bay provide a diabetes MedsCheck service for eligible type 2 diabetes suffers. This is a 20-minute session we do in our store.
It is provided as a free service as it is subsidised by the Community Pharmacy Agreement.
Diabetes is a condition in which there is too much glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood because the body is unable to use it properly.
Diabetes is generally divided into two categories.
Type 1 diabetes, which is often referred to as ‘juvenile diabetes’ because it most commonly begins during childhood or adolescence.
And Type 2 diabetes, which usually occurs later in life and is more common in people who are overweight.
TerryWhite Chemmart Nelson Bay is an agent for the National Diabetic Supply Scheme (NDSS).
