At Bute Pharmacy in Rothesay, we understand that managing diabetes is a journey that requires ongoing support, education, and care. Our Diabetes Care Excellence program is designed to empower you with the tools and knowledge needed to manage your diabetes effectively.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. This can lead to serious health complications if not managed correctly. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, while Type 2 is more common in adults and is often linked to lifestyle factors.
