Cardiovascular Risk & Diabetes Support Services

Our clinical pharmacists are trained to help with insulin and medication changes, blood sugar checks, continuous glucose monitors, and patient-specific diabetes education. They work under a protocol that allows them to adjust your treatment safely and quickly, in partnership with your provider.

We can help with:

• Insulin support and safe dose changes
• Blood sugar checks and how to understand your numbers
• Setting up and using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)
• Reviewing all your diabetes medicines
• Making sure your medicines work well together
• Answering questions about refills, timing, or side effects

Why This Matters: Diabetes can change quickly. Having clinical pharmacy support gives you fast help when you need it and keeps your treatment safe and on track.

We help patients manage high cholesterol and other factors that affect heart health. Our clinical pharmacists review your lab results, adjust medicines, and support long-term heart health.

We can help with:

• Reviewing cholesterol numbers and explaining what they mean
• Adjusting medicines to lower your risk of heart attack or stroke
• Finding options if you cannot tolerate certain medications
• Helping you understand lifestyle changes that support heart health
• Creating a plan for follow-up labs and visits
• Checking for medicine interactions or risks

Why This Matters: Lowering cholesterol and managing heart-risk factors now can prevent serious health problems later in life.

This service is for patients who:

• Receive Primary Medical Care(opens in a new tab) at Peak Vista
• Are managing diabetes, insulin changes, high cholesterol, or other heart-risk concerns
• Have a referral from their Peak Vista provider

Why This Matters: A referral keeps your whole care team connected, so your treatment plan is safe, coordinated, and personalized.

Your appointment may include:

• A review of your medications and recent lab results
• Help with insulin, refills, or devices like glucose monitors
• Education on blood sugar, healthy habits, and lifestyle support
• Medication changes, if needed
• A clear follow-up plan

Why This Matters: Knowing what will happen helps reduce stress and helps you feel confident about your care.
