Bayshore Pharmacy in the Foodtown Shopping Center now provides a Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) program now that it has received Medicare approval for this addition to its program of comprehensive accredited diabetes care.
The continued growth and advanced technology of the Bayshore Pharmacy and its staff, is another milestone achievement for a family-owned business that has been reaching several milestones during its two generations of family ownership.
The DSMES program is an evidence-based standard of care designed to empower persons living with diabetes. By earning Medicare approval, Bayshore Pharmacy can now vital services—often at no out-of-pocket cost to Medicare beneficiaries—in the heart of the Atlantic Highlands community.
“The wait is finally over,” said Richard P. Stryker, RPh and owner of Bayshore Pharmacy. “We are incredibly excited to bring this level of specialized education to our neighbors. Managing diabetes is about more than just a prescription; it’s about providing the tools, technology, and community support necessary for our patients to thrive and maintain their vitality.”
The DSMES program at Bayshore Pharmacy focuses on practical, real-world applications, including hands-on training with glucometers and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems; in-depth education on managing blood sugar levels and understanding the “why” behind the numbers, guidance on nutrition and functional movement tailored to the needs of the local community and a collaborative environment that connects patients with professional educators and peers.
As a locally owned family business, Bayshore Pharmacy’s transition into an accredited DSMES provider reinforces its commitment to proactive community health by closing the gap between the doctor’s office and daily life, ensuring that residents have accessible, high-quality resources to prevent complications and improve their quality of life.
Stryker said the Pharmacy is forming its inaugural DSMES classes, and because of high demand, a priority registration list has been established for those eager to begin their journey toward better health.
