MedSmart is for people with Type 2 diabetes

Making sense of your medications can be difficult but it does not have to be. MedSmart will give you information about your medications, how they work, how to take them and how they help manage your diabetes.

MedSmart covers:

What is happening in the body
Diabetes medications and why they are used
How to identify key information on medication boxes
Common side effects and how to manage them
Obstacles that may prevent medications being taken as prescribed and how to manage this
How to work with healthcare professionals to develop a medication plan you are comfortable with

By the end of this program, you will have the confidence to self-manage your medications and navigate any obstacles should they arise.

Please note: This program requires a minimum of six participants otherwise it may be cancelled at short notice.
