  • Bring glucose-monitoring device and supply questions
  • Plan refill and travel continuity
  • Prepare questions about changes, missed doses or follow-up

What to know

Bring medicines, devices and supplies

Include prescription labels, non-prescription products, glucose-monitoring equipment, administration supplies and the instructions you currently follow. Seeing the whole routine helps make questions more specific and useful.

Ask before changing the plan

Ask about timing, administration, storage, travel, missed doses, side effects or monitoring. Speak with a pharmacist or your care team before changing a prescribed medicine.

Plan continuity early

Prescription status, product supply, device coverage, insurance and prescriber follow-up can affect timing. Contact the pharmacy before medicines or supplies run low and explain any recent changes.

Before a conversation

What to prepare.

  • All diabetes medicines, devices and relevant supplies
  • Your current medication list, allergies and insurance information

Before you make a change
