REMOTE MONITORING (RPM)
Through advanced technology blood glucose levels and/or blood pressure readings are seamlessly transmitted by the individual and remotely monitored by pharmacists and certified diabetes educators.
Continuous monitoring of blood sugar levels (often referred to as CGM) is critical for the health and well-being of those living with Diabetes. Remote monitoring allows individuals to maintain their independence, reduces office visits, bridges gaps in care, and prevents complications.

Lower A1c with blood glucose tracking and coaching.
Remote monitoring of blood glucose levels can be used to obtain information about a diabetic person’s sugar levels, symptoms, diet, and medication adherence on a daily basis.
Long term, monitoring can lead to changes in a person’s lifestyle and behavior and may be able to prevent serious complications like blindness, amputations, chronic kidney disease, and stroke. In addition to the daily blood glucose monitoring, our diabetes educators are available for 15-30 minute calls or Zoom to answer question and make recommendations
Home Readings
Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring
Healthcare professionals recommend that people with high blood pressure should use a home blood pressure monitor. Monitoring your blood pressure at home can help track your treatment, encourage better control over your health and help prevent long term complications such as diabetes or kidney concerns. With Remote Monitoring, home readings are sent electronically to a pharmacist who reviews the readings, makes suggestions and helps educate the participant on their condition. Remote Monitoring has shown to have a significant impact on lowering high blood pressure with one study showing a reduction in systolic blood pressure of 5.44mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 2.70mmHg compared to people on standard care. Lowering their blood pressure has led to a reduced risk of stroke, heart attack or kidney disease.
