New Year’s Resolutions, Making Your Health a Priority

The saying goes, new year, new you! Did you know that the number one resolution Canadians make revolves around their health? For 2017 the number one resolution made was to “improve personal fitness and nutrition”. As a part of your health care team, we want to make sure we can provide you tools and education to help you along with whatever health related new years goals you have.

If your resolutions include knowing more about your health and medication:

Medication Reviews

Reviewing your medication and supplements can reveal more than you think. This is an opportunity to talk with one of our pharmacists about your health and medication. A one-on-one medication review can help you understand what your medications are for, and ensure you are getting the most from them. We also look to ensure that any medications you might be taking won’t adversely react with each other causing unnecessary side effects.

Diabetes Education

This is available to all those with Pre-Diabetes or Diabetes and is also available for the friends and family members as well! Our pharmacists are all Certified Diabetes Educators and are available to go over anything relating to diabetes education and management. Including, blood glucose meter training, blood sugar management, insulin adjustments, nutrition and lifestyle advice.

If your resolutions include managing and keeping on top of your health:
