Visiting the Pharmacy

When you are living with diabetes, you go to the pharmacy fairly often. Along with getting your prescriptions there, you can get nonprescription medicines — medicines you can buy without a prescription from your health care provider.

The more you know about nonprescription medicines and how they affect you, the better you can manage your blood glucose. Of course, you also can go to your pharmacist and other members of your health care team with your questions about nonprescription medicines.
