Pretty upset as the Diabetes Australia outlets are closing for good. We had one up the road and I could pop in and pick up supplies spur of the moment if I wanted. Now I need to go to a chemist who is a registered National Diabetes Services Scheme outlet, and HOPE beyond hopes they have the blood glucose strips and small needles we require.
I have a plan, to build a relationship with the pharmacist and organise 1 week in advance the need for them to stock up on the things we require. Weve had next to no luck with chemists in the past, telling us to come back tomorrow, promising they would order stuff, and then the staff having no clue what we are talking about the next day, let alone supplying what we need.
End of an era. Sad.
Hi Jules,
ReplyDeleteTerry White at Carindale are pretty good. Whatever isn't on the shelves I ask them and they generally have it out the back.

How frustrating! Hope the plan to befriend the chemist works!! Fingers crossed for you...totally sucks when you can't get what you NEED!
ReplyDeleteWell, how annoying! I'm sure your charming self will easily be able to befriend the pharmacist. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hope they've made improvements and get you what you need quickly. I have problems here in the US getting my full amount filled at my current pharmacy...they are always out of something. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat! There closing the DA stores!? Aspley was fine for us to go to. Urgh. Silly people. Like you, my chemist hardly has enough stock for 2 boxes let alone the 9 I usually get.i think its a bad move for them to do it.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well with the pharmacist route of getting supplies now...thats a shame they are closing that up for you guys!
ReplyDeleteACK! This sounds like a nightmare. Bring that chemist some cookies or something!! I'm sorry :(
ReplyDeletethanks jeanette, will check them out...perhaps i will phone ahead to be sure!
