Diabetes Glucose Test Advice...And So Much More

Your Dell Pharmacy team knows how tough diabetes can be. The shock of diagnosis and  struggle to make those early all-important lifestyle changes gives way to the daily grind of diabetes glucose tests, medication, monitoring, and a strict diet and exercise routine.

At Dell, we think of ourselves as an important part of your diabetes management team. Yes, we offer diabetes glucose test advice and dispense medication. But our commitment to your health extends so much further.

We are the coach who helps you meet your lifestyle goals. The teacher who makes sure you have the information to make the right choices. The health professional who keeps a watchful eye on your medication and numbers. And the pick-me-up you need when the disease gets you down.

Type 2 and Type 1 Diabetes Information and Expertise at Every Dell Store

Each of our Dell Pharmacy locations in Southern Ontario is a proud participant in the Canadian Diabetes Association's Community Pharmacy Outreach Program. You can feel confident that the pharmacy team in every Dell store is working in partnership with the Association, a world-class expert on the disease and trusted resource for education.

Your local Dell Pharmacy will provide you with:

  • carefully selected products for your diabetes care
  • up-to-date, comprehensive type 1 and type 2 diabetes information 
  • answers to your questions
  • real-time updating of your electronic health record--complete with information on your medications, vaccinations and key measurements--ensuring you have continuity of care no matter where you are in the world
  • one-on-one counselling with pharmacists who are specially-trained to offer you type 2 and type 1 diabetes information, education and support
  • a free diabetes MedsCheck each year, to review your current medications and discuss the challenges and successes you're experiencing managing your diabetes

At Dell Pharmacy, We Put the “Custom” in “Customer”

You may be one of the more than 3 million Canadians who have diabetes, but we know that you're unique...and you deserve a made-for-you approach to learning about and managing your diabetes.

Dell Pharmacy's customized approach to diabetes reflects our belief that the best health outcomes result from personalized service and customer-specific information. That's why every diabetes patient is eligible for an annual MedsCheck review, where we'll discuss ways to best meet your medication needs and lifestyle goals. That's why we provide electronic health records, so you can access your information wherever you can connect to the internet. And that's why we want to develop a meaningful relationship with you.

Diabetes is for life. And so is Dell.
