Diabetes care from a pharmacist who actually specializes in it.
Type 1, type 2, prediabetes, GLP-1 patients, and the families who care for them. We handle the medication side of diabetes care: interactions, side effects, nutrient gaps your medications create, adherence, and cost. Often coordinated with your physician.
I review every diabetes consultation request myself, down to the last medication on your list.

Diabetes care program
Diabetes care from a pharmacist who specializes in it. Medication review, blood glucose monitoring, A1C tracking, education on insulin, GLP-1s, and lifestyle. Often coordinated with your physician.

Where To Start
Three paths. Pick whichever fits.
On medication
Diabetes Medication Support
Nutrient support packs for patients on metformin, GLP-1s, insulin, and combination therapy. Replaces what these medications deplete.

Free Medication Therapy Management
30 to 60 minute consultation reviewing every medication you take. Covered by Medicare Part D and most commercial plans.

Health Screenings
A1C, glucose, lipid panels, and blood pressure tracked in store. Results reviewed by Dr. Mike.

Built for what your medications quietly deplete.
Most diabetes patients are missing nutrients their medications cause them to lose. The fix is targeted supplementation, not a generic multivitamin. Each pack is built around a specific medication or combination.
Metformin Support Pack
Methylated B12, methylfolate, and CoQ10. Metformin depletes all three, which is why long term users develop neuropathy, fatigue, and elevated homocysteine.
See the packGLP-1 Optimization Pack
Built for patients on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Replaces protein, electrolytes, B vitamins, and gut support that the medication shortcuts past.
See the packType 2 Diabetes Support Pack
For patients managing type 2 with combination therapy. Cardiovascular, renal, and nerve support tuned to the most common diabetes complications.

“Diabetes is the single most common condition I help patients with at Fairview. What surprises people is how much room there is to improve outcomes just by getting the medication layer right. The nutrient depletions from metformin, the protein gap on GLP-1s, the adherence problems with multi medication regimens. Most of this is fixable in a 30 minute conversation. Bring me your medication list.”
Common Questions
Diabetes questions, answered plainly.
Can a pharmacist help with my diabetes if I already have an endocrinologist?
Yes. We complement your physician's care; we do not replace it. Pharmacists handle the medication layer (interactions, side effects, adherence, cost), the nutrient gap layer (what your medications deplete), and the day to day questions you might not want to wait for an appointment to ask. Endocrinologists handle disease management. The two roles work together.
Why do diabetes medications deplete nutrients?
Metformin specifically blocks B12 absorption in the intestine. Long term metformin users (5+ years) often develop B12 deficiency that presents as fatigue, brain fog, or peripheral neuropathy. The fix is methylated B12 supplementation. GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) suppress appetite so aggressively that patients underconsume protein and certain micronutrients. The Medication Support packs we built address each medication's specific depletion profile.
Are GLP-1 medications safe long term?
Current data suggests yes for most patients, but long term studies are still maturing. The main practical issues we see are muscle loss from inadequate protein intake, gallbladder issues, gastroparesis, and rebound weight gain on discontinuation. The GLP-1 Optimization Pack addresses the nutrient and muscle preservation side. Discuss the rest with your prescriber.
What is an A1C and how often should I check it?
Hemoglobin A1C is a three month average of your blood glucose. Diabetic patients should check every 3 to 6 months; prediabetic and at risk patients every 6 to 12 months. We offer A1C testing in store and Dr. Mike reviews the results with you. We do not charge insurance for the test if you do not have coverage; we have an affordable cash price.
What's the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas stops making insulin. It requires insulin from diagnosis. Type 2 is a metabolic disease where the body becomes resistant to insulin. It often progresses through diet, oral medications, and eventually insulin. Both are diabetes; the management differs. Most of our diabetes patients have type 2.
Can you help with insulin and pump supplies?
Yes. We stock insulin (analog and human), pen needles, and bill insurance for diabetes supplies. We do not stock CGM or pump devices directly but can coordinate with your DME supplier for medication coverage.
