Free Ongoing Support, Education & Monitoring for People with Diabetes
Macdonald's Prescriptions offers a free Diabetes Care program designed to help individuals manage their condition between doctor visits. While most patients only receive formal assessments once or twice a year, and education every few years at a clinic, we bridge the gap with frequent, accessible support. Our trained staff can help monitor your health, recognize early signs of complications, and ensure you're staying on track. This program is fast, friendly, and available at no cost to all diabetics. If you or someone you love is living with diabetes, we invite you to visit us or give us a call today.
What Is the Diabetes Care Centre?
At Macdonald's Prescriptions, our Diabetes Care Centre provides ongoing assessments, monitoring, and education for people living with diabetes. Unlike standard care—where most patients are reviewed only once or twice a year—our program offers more consistent touchpoints to help manage blood sugar and identify potential long-term complications early.
Why Ongoing Diabetes Support Matters
- Bridges the gap between annual doctor visits
- Supports better blood glucose management
- Helps prevent complications like neuropathy, vision issues, and kidney problems
- Empowers patients with personalized education and tools
How Our Program Works
- Quick, free consultations—no appointment necessary
- One-on-one guidance with trained pharmacy staff
- Information on blood sugar tracking, diet, foot care, and more
- Referral support to doctors or diabetes clinics if needed
Whether you've been recently diagnosed or managing diabetes for years, we're here to support you at every stage. Education and early action can make a lifelong difference. Visit our Diabetes Care Centre at Fairmont Pharmacy (West Broadway) or call today to take the next step in your care.
