Walgreens is committed to helping the diabetes community start
and maintain an optimal regimen and routine to live a healthy life
as a trusted member of their healthcare team, offering enhanced
services focused on expanding access to affordable, local care. The
company invests in special training to equip pharmacists with
expert knowledge about medications, continuous glucose monitors,
nutrition, how to keep A1C and blood glucose levels on target, and
more. More than 20,000 pharmacists have completed this training to
date.
“Walgreens understands how outcomes-focused, community-driven
healthcare can make all the difference for people living with
chronic conditions like diabetes,” said Brad Ulrich, Walgreens
Pharmacy Operations and Services group vice president. “No matter
where you are in your journey with diabetes, Walgreens is here to
provide services that support better disease management and healthy
living.”
The number of people with pre-diabetes and diabetes is rising at
an alarming rate. There are currently 96 million American adults
who have prediabetes – that's 1 in 3 adults. And more than 37
million Americans – about 1 in 10 – are living with diabetes.1
“Diabetes Awareness Month is a chance to learn more about all
types of diabetes and remind people that in addition to the help
you get from loved ones and friends, you can lean on Walgreens for
support,” said Jamal Downer, pharmacist and pharmacy manager for a
Walgreens location based in New York City.
