Free Glucose Monitoring

Today, the incidence of diabetes is on the rise, with the complications of this metabolic disorder representing one of the most challenging public health problems of the 21st Century. According to The National Diabetes Statistics Report, a periodic publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States alone, over 34 million people, or more than 10% of the population, have diabetes.

Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder that impairs the body's ability to produce or use insulin effectively to regulate blood sugar levels. With diabetes, your cells get deprived of glucose, the energy source they require, while high levels of this sugar remain in the blood. Persistently high blood sugar has a detrimental impact throughout the body, leading to significant and even life-threatening acute and chronic health complications.

At Wharton Pharmacy, we understand the importance of monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels to prevent the disease's most severe consequences. In addition to offering a complete range of products and medications, including blood glucose meters and testing strips, to monitor and manage the condition, we also provide convenient and free blood glucose testing.
