 As
the population ages, the number of people with diabetes is
expected to grow substantially. An estimated 2 to 3 million
Canadians, or 7-10% of the population, have diabetes. A staggering
1.1 million Canadians with diabetes go undiagnosed every year.
The good news is that your Save-On-Foods pharmacy has an entire
section dedicated to diabetes care. Our pharmacists
know that times of illness are stressfuland that the path to recovery
starts with informed decisions, whether about proper medications
or background information on your condition.
We understand the importance
of monitoring your health. To assist you with this, we offer
a free Diabetes Management Diary. Keeping accurate records
of the tests you perform is an essential part of good diabetes
self-monitoring. Use this diary to record your daily activities
including diet, exercise, medications and blood sugar levels.
It’s a helpful tool in achieving your health goals.
We
recommend that you take your diary with you to all of your
medical check-ups with doctors, specialists and diabetes
educators. With controlled blood sugar levels, you’ll feel better
and live a more productive and healthy life.
