Welcome to Diabetes Supply Central, the pharmacist's resource on diabetes testing supplies. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. As the nation's most accessible health care providers, pharmacists are on the frontline assisting patients in managing this disease. That means educating patients on the importance of blood glucose monitoring and HbA1c testing, as well as providing the necessary testing supplies and demonstrating their proper use.

Diabetes Supply Central is designed to provide pharmacists with the information needed to best serve their patients with diabetes, while at the same time maintaining profitability.
