What to know
Medicines we commonly review
Metformin, glipizide, glimepiride, pioglitazone, empagliflozin (Jardiance), dapagliflozin (Farxiga) and sitagliptin (Januvia). For Ozempic, Mounjaro and other GLP-1s, see GLP-1 refills. Insulin: ask before paying.
What helps the physician
A photo of the bottle or label, your dose, your last dose, recent home glucose readings, your most recent A1c if you know it, and any low blood sugar episodes.
Labs
Diabetes care is usually monitored with an A1c, and metformin and SGLT2 medicines with kidney function tests. If yours are overdue, the physician may order labs or give a limited refill until they are done.
Florida heat and diabetes
Heat and dehydration can raise blood sugar and make SGLT2 medicines and metformin riskier. Drink water, check your sugar more often in hot weather, and keep insulin and pens out of hot cars.
Common questions
Can I get my diabetes medicine refilled online in Florida?
Yes, if you already take it and you are physically in Florida. A Florida-registered telehealth physician reviews your request for $39 and sends the prescription to your Florida pharmacy when it is safe to continue.
Do you refill insulin?
Insulin needs a closer look because dosing errors can be dangerous. Call or text 469-951-0477 before paying so we can tell you whether this service fits. If you are out of insulin, ask your pharmacist about Florida's emergency insulin refill.
Will I need an A1c or kidney test?
Often. Diabetes medicines are usually monitored with an A1c, and metformin and SGLT2 medicines such as Jardiance and Farxiga with kidney function tests. If yours are overdue, the physician may order labs or give a limited refill until they are done.
What if I'm sick and can't eat or drink?
Call your clinician. Vomiting or dehydration can make some diabetes medicines unsafe to take as usual. Seek urgent care for repeated vomiting, deep or fast breathing, confusion, or blood sugar that stays very high.
When is low blood sugar an emergency?
Blood sugar under 70 that doesn't improve with fast sugar, or any low with confusion, seizure or inability to swallow, is an emergency. Call 911. Glipizide, glimepiride and insulin can cause lows, especially if you skip meals.
