In this heartfelt and revealing episode, Catherine takes us behind the scenes of the community pharmacy counter in Ireland- offering a rare look at the pressures, realities, and quiet acts of care that shape our experiences as people living with diabetes. She explores the logistics and some limitations of the Irish pharmacy system, especially around early or bulk medication requests, and shares why our interactions with pharmacy staff deserve compassion, not conflict.
With honesty and warmth, Catherine invites listeners to think differently about what it means to be both cared for and caring—reminding us that trust and mutual respect are as vital to health as any prescription.
