Diabetic Medication
Diabetic patients require an in-office appointment every 3 months for a diabetic assessment to renew diabetic medications and assess diabetic patients specifically in regards to their diabetes.
It is suggested that the 3 month diabetic appointment is booked immediately following the current diabetic appointment.
1-2 weeks prior to the 3 month diabetic appointment, the diabetic blood work should be completed; unless otherwise advised by the practitioner.
