Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of diabetes?
The symptoms of diabetes can vary depending on the type, but common signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing sores or cuts. Type 1 diabetes symptoms can develop suddenly and may include unexplained weight loss, while Type 2 diabetes symptoms tend to develop gradually and may go unnoticed for some time. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and begin managing your condition.
What should I eat if I have diabetes?
A healthy eating plan is essential for managing diabetes. Focus on eating a balanced diet that includes vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit foods high in sugar, refined carbs, and unhealthy fats. Portion control is important, as well as monitoring carbohydrate intake to prevent blood sugar spikes.
How often should I check my blood sugar?
The frequency of blood sugar monitoring depends on factors such as your type of diabetes, medications, and individual health goals. If you have Type 1 diabetes or are on insulin, you may need to check your blood sugar several times a day, especially before meals or during exercise. For those with Type 2 diabetes, the frequency may vary and be less frequent, but regular monitoring is essential for staying on track with your blood sugar management. Our pharmacy team can guide you on how often to check your blood sugar and ensure you’re using your glucose meter correctly.
