National Diabetes Week : 12-18 July 2015

I’m proud to invite you to come to Priceline Pharmacy Runaway Bay , with the support of my boss and all the staff, we will be joining in the national public awareness campaign of  280 a day (i.e. 280 Australians develop diabetes every day!) starting 12th July 2015 for National Diabetes Week in Australia!

As a diabetes educator and a pharmacist working in a community pharmacy, I’m targeting the general public! That’s right, you have heard me right! My goal is to help the general public understand that diabetes is serious! It’s not only about sugar! I’ll use my knowledge along with patient support materials to address any misconceptions about diabetes!

Many of my patients only discovered that they actually have diabetes after they have a heart problem or an operation! Anyone can develop diabetes! Some have more risk factors than others. People with diabetes are not always old or overweight!

Of course, I’m more than happy to help people with diabetes and their family members managing their diabetes to improve their qulaity of life and minimise possible complications, such as heart attack, stroke, eye problems and kidney disease! We’ll be doing a free blood glucose metre upgrade for people who meet the criteria on Thursday 16th July! Please ring 07-5537-3900 for more information!
