Blooms, Ascensia join forces

LAST weekend Ascensia Diabetes Care partnered with Blooms The Chemist to upgrade the blood glucose meters of hundreds of attendees at Diabetes NSW/ACT’s Live Your Life event in Sydney.

The partnership saw Ascensia offering its Contour Next One and Contour Next meters for free, while participants were able to talk to a pharmacist from Blooms The Chemist about supplies for their new device along with additional services.

“This partnership means that people with diabetes can obtain strips and lancets when they receive the meter, ensuring that they have all the components and knowledge to monitor their diabetes on the day,” said Ascensia Diabetes Care Country Manager, Bodil Worm.

“Living with diabetes is a fulltime job, and we want to support people to have easier days by using our Contour Next range of meters which bring you readings you can trust every time,” he said.

Blooms The Chemist CEO Phil Smith said the group provides NDSS supplies through over 90 access points nationally, along with providing day-to-day support for those living with diabetes through health checks, diabetes medication reviews and other in-store services.
