About

Over-The-Counter Products Sometimes the best medicine doesn’t require a doctor’s prescription. At Diabetic Warehouse we offer a selection of over-the-counter products designed to make managing your health easier and more affordable. These include: Smoking Cessation Products We understand how difficult it can be to quit smoking. As a leading provider of diabetic and general health supplies, we also understand just how hazardous continuing the habit is, both for general wellbeing and when it comes to managing blood sugar and controlling diabetes. Smoking can lead to numerous cancers, including lung, mouth, stomach, colon, and kidney cancers. Additionally, smoking increases the likelihood a person will be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes by 40% and can make controlling blood sugar far more difficult once the disease is diagnosed. Products such as Nicorette gum and NicoDerm patches can make quitting easier for many people. Plan B One-Step The Plan B tablet helps prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex or the failure of a condom or other contraceptive. The earlier a woman takes the pill after sex, the greater the likelihood of preventing pregnancy, and the Plan B tablet has no impact on a woman’s future fertility. Calcium Supplements Calcium promotes healthy bones and helps your muscles and heart function properly. Plus, according to the Mayo Clinic, some studies suggest that calcium along with Vitamin D, may help protect against cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Both men and women are recommended to get a minimum of 1,000 mg. of calcium each day. Other Over-The-Counter Supplies At Diabetic Warehouse, we offer other products to promote effective diabetes management and healthy living. These include: Diabetic supplies – test strips, glucose meters, syringes, pen needles Diabetic foot care – diabetic socks, compression stockings and foot cream Health monitors – blood pressure monitors and oximeters Wound care products – swabs and dressings
