Diabetes affects 25.8 million people or 8.3% of the U. S. population.
With such a high percentage of individuals affected by diabetes, Amboy Hometown Pharmacy offers dedicated services to streamline diabetic care and maintenance. We offer a complete line of products including:
- Blood and glucose meters
- Test strips
- Injection supplies
- Insulin
In addition, Amboy Hometown Pharmacy can transmit information from Abbott meters to your healthcare provider to facilitate insulin prescription adjustments. Our system uploads your most recent reading to your doctor’s office, enabling your physician or nurse practitioner to evaluate and adjust your insulin prescription. The adjusted dosage is then communicated back to the pharmacy so your prescription can be filled while you wait.
