If you have diabetes, it's crucial to continue your treatment plan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some tips to safely get your medications: 1. **Limit Pharmacy Visits**: Try to reduce trips to the pharmacy, especially if you have other health conditions or are older. 2. **Stock Up**: Keep at least a month's supply of your medications on hand. Some insurance plans allow for a 90-day supply. Check with your insurance company or pharmacy. 3. **Mail-Order Pharmacy**: Many insurance plans offer mail-order services that can deliver a 3-month supply to your home, often with a lower copay. Contact your insurance company for details. 4. **Curbside Pickup**: Some pharmacies offer curbside pickup. Call when you arrive, and they will bring your medication to your car. 5. **Home Delivery**: Many large retail chains and independent drugstores deliver prescriptions to your home. Check online or call to see what's available near you. 6. **Drive-Thru Windows**: Some pharmacies have drive-thru windows, which can be safer than going inside. If you must go inside the pharmacy, follow safety guidelines like wearing a mask and maintaining social distance. By following these steps, you can minimize your risk while ensuring you have the medications you need.
