Starting continuous or at-home glucose monitoring can be overwhelming: new devices, new numbers, and new decisions. The pharmacy counter is often where those questions come up first.
This is a strong example of why we believe pharmacists belong inside the chronic care team. They are accessible, they see patients regularly, and they can help turn a new device into better day-to-day management.
When that guidance is connected to the rest of the care team through collaborative practice agreements, it becomes continuous care rather than a one-time conversation.
