Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming. There is so much to learn, including how nutrition and physical activity affect your blood sugar, how to take your medications, and how to use a glucose monitor.
We are here to support you. In fact, your pharmacist is a key part of your diabetes care team. Many of our pharmacists have extra training in diabetes care services, including our Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE)®.
We’re here to answer your questions, provide guidance that fits your life, and help you reach your health goals with our Health Coaching for Diabetes.
What is Health Coaching
Just like an athlete works with a coach to develop skills to excel at their sport, health coaching helps you excel at living your life - even with a chronic medical condition. Health Coaching for Diabetes turns education into action, lets you proactively manage your diabetes and helps you avoid diabetes-related health problems, such as vision loss, heart disease, and foot complications.
Health coaching is a collaborative approach that helps individuals make sustainable lifestyle changes. Pharmacists will work directly with patients to:
- Understand their diagnosis
- Set realistic health goals
- Improve medication adherence
- Make informed choices about nutrition, activity, and self-care
