Diabetes Center
According to the CDC, just under half of the United States adult population is expected to develop diabetes during their lifetime. Not only does diabetes significantly contribute to healthcare costs, it also puts you at risk for many other health complications such as kidney failure and blindness.
Bay Street Pharmacy wants to work with patients who have received this diagnosis and to prevent those “pre-diabetics” from becoming diabetic. We consistently provide counseling, blood glucose testing & information, billing of all supplies related to diabetes and the ability to download results from your meter. We carry a full line of all diabetic meters, strips, and lancets. We will gladly accept assignment from your insurance so you don’t have to worry about it.
