Diabetes Tip #8️⃣

💉 Insulin Insights!
Insulin helps your body move sugar from the blood into your cells — where it’s used for energy! 💪

👉 Examples:
• Rapid-acting: Lispro, Aspart
• Long-acting: Glargine, Detemir

⚡ Bonus tip: Insulin is the only option for people with Type 1 diabetes and is sometimes used in advanced Type 2 diabetes to keep blood sugar in check.

Your pharmacist can help you understand which insulin type works best for your routine and lifestyle! 💙

Diabetes Tip # 7️⃣

💊 Spotlight on Sulfonylureas! 💊
Did you know? Sulfonylureas are a class of diabetes medications that help your pancreas release more insulin — giving your body a little extra boost to lower blood sugar. 🩸

👉 Common examples: glipizide, glyburide, and glimepiride.
⚠️ Tip: Because they increase insulin, they can sometimes cause low blood sugar — so it’s important to monitor levels and eat regularly!

Diabetes Tip # 6️⃣

💖💊 SGLT2 Inhibitors: Helping Your Heart & Sugar Stay Chill

Medicines like Jardiance, Farxiga, and Invokana don’t just help lower blood sugar — research shows they may also help lower the risk for heart failure in some patients! 🎉

How do they do it?
Think of SGLT2 inhibitors as the “extra sugar bouncers” 🚪🍬
They help the kidneys kick out sugar through urine — keeping levels in check AND taking a little strain off the heart. ❤️

✨ Benefits can include:
• Lower blood sugar ✅
• Heart protection for certain patients 💪
• Helping the body release extra fluid 🚰

If you’re managing Type 2 diabetes and have heart concerns, ask your healthcare team if this class of meds might be right for you!

Your heart works hard for you — let’s show it some love. 💙

Diabetes Tip #5️⃣

💊✨ Let’s Talk Biguanides!

Metformin — one of the most commonly prescribed diabetes medications — belongs to a group called biguanides. These meds help the body respond better to insulin and reduce how much sugar your liver releases into the bloodstream.

🌟 What does that mean for you?
• More stable blood sugar
• Improved insulin sensitivity
• A strong first step in managing Type 2 diabetes

✅ Pro Tip: Taking metformin with food can help reduce stomach upset — and keep you feeling your best!

If you ever have questions about your diabetes medications, we’re just a call or quick visit away. Your health is our top priority! 💙
