Who it's for

Anyone managing type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes — newly diagnosed or long-time. We coach, supply, and review.

What’s included

  • Glucose meters — major brands stocked, demos available so you can compare before you choose.
  • Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) — Freestyle Libre, Dexcom G6/G7, plus sensors and starter kits.
  • Test strips and lancets — matched to your meter, billed through your benefits where possible.
  • Insulin and oral diabetes medications — all common formulations, fridge storage handled correctly.
  • MedsCheck for Diabetes — OHIP-covered 30-minute review of your full diabetes plan.
  • Travel kits — letters, storage guidance, and supply planning for vacations.

How it works

  1. Book a diabetes consult or just stop in if you need supplies today.
  2. Bring your meter readings (or your CGM app data) if you’ve been tracking — it helps us see what’s working.
  3. 30-minute review with your pharmacist covering medication, monitoring, meals, and lifestyle.
  4. Get a written plan plus a summary sent to your family doctor or endo (with your consent).
  5. Auto-refill set up so you never run out of strips, sensors, or insulin.

What it costs

The diabetes MedsCheck is free under OHIP. Supplies are billed through your drug plan (ODB or private) wherever possible. We’ll always quote out-of-pocket costs before you commit. Many CGM sensors are covered for eligible patients — ask us and we’ll check your plan.

Frequently asked

Common questions about diabetes supplies & coaching.

What's a MedsCheck for Diabetes?
It's a free, OHIP-covered diabetes-specific medication and self-management review. We go through your meds, your meter readings, your lifestyle, and your goals — and we send a summary to your family doctor or endocrinologist. Roughly 30 minutes, by appointment.
Are my test strips covered?
If you're on the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB), test strips are covered with limits based on your medication regimen. Private plans usually cover strips too. Sensors for continuous glucose monitors (Dexcom, Freestyle Libre) may be covered depending on your plan and clinical criteria — ask us and we'll check.
Which meters and CGMs do you carry?
All the major meters (Accu-Chek, Contour, OneTouch, Freestyle) and CGM systems (Freestyle Libre, Dexcom G6/G7). We can match strips to your existing meter or recommend a new one if your current setup isn't working for you.
Can you help me with my insulin?
Yes — we stock all the common insulins, can advise on pen versus vial, storage, and travel. For complex insulin regimens we'll coordinate closely with your prescriber and offer a longer MedsCheck.
I'm newly diagnosed. Where do I start?
Book a 30-minute diabetes consult. We'll go through what each medication is doing, how to use your meter, when to test, what your numbers should look like, and what to do when they're off. Bring your family member or caregiver if it helps.
Do you offer A1C testing in the pharmacy?
We don't run A1C testing in-store. Your doctor's office or LifeLabs is the right place for that. We do help you understand your A1C results and what they mean for your medication plan.
