ASK YOUR
pharmacist
When you’ve been
diagnosed with type 2
diabetes, sticking to
your treatment plan is
one of the best things
you can do to help
maintain your glucose
levels within the ‘right’
range, which is crucial
to lessen any diabetes-
related damage that
can occur to the
kidneys, eyes, heart,
feet and nerves. But
since you can’t usually
feel when your levels are
too high or too low, it’s
important to keep to
your treatment regimen
as closely as possible.
That’s where the
TerryWhite
Chemmart Health
app is invaluable. As
well as sending you
reminders when your
scripts are running low,
you can also order your
prescriptions via the
app to skip the queuein-store and set alerts to
remind you to take your
medication. The app
even has a Carer Mode®
so you can enlist a
friend or family member
to help manage your
diabetes medication.
As a result of these
helpful, practical
features, people who use
the app to manage their
medication are much
more likely to stick to
their treatment plan.
It’s free to download
and use, so check it
out if you feel like you
could use something
that would make the
medication side of your
diabetes treatment
easier.Why is it so important to take my diabetes
