Making sense of your medications can be difficult but it doesn’t have to be. MedSmart will give you information about your medications, how they work, how to take them and how they help manage your diabetes.
MedSmart covers:
- What is happening in the body
- Diabetes medications and why they are used
- How to identify key information on medication boxes
- Common side effects and how to manage them
- Obstacles that may prevent medications being taken as prescribed and how to manage this
- How to work with healthcare professionals to develop a medication plan you are comfortable with
By the end of this program, you will have the confidence to self-manage your medications and navigate any obstacles should they arise.
