Diabetes (Non-Insulin) Refills Online — Safe, Evidence-Based Care
Running low on your diabetes medication? TeleDirectMD connects you with a board-certified MD via secure video for just $49. If appropriate, we’ll send a same-day prescription to your pharmacy and outline a practical monitoring plan.
Who This Is For
- Adults (18+) with established type 2 diabetes on a stable, non-insulin regimen
- Recent A1C (ideally ≤ 6 months) and eGFR/BMP (≤ 12 months; ≤ 6 months if CKD)
- No red-flag symptoms (e.g., DKA signs, severe dehydration)
How Our $49 Refill Visit Works
- Smart Intake (2–3 minutes): Current meds/doses, last A1C/eGFR dates, home glucose trends, side effects.
- MD Video Visit: We verify stability, review interactions, screen red flags, and confirm renal dosing safety.
- Prescription & Plan: If appropriate, we send a same-day e-Rx and provide written follow-up and lab timing.
Medications We Typically Refill
| Category | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Metformin | IR or ER | Renal dosing rules apply |
| DPP-4 inhibitors | Sitagliptin, Linagliptin | Refills only if previously established |
| SGLT2 inhibitors | Empagliflozin, Dapagliflozin | Refills only if previously established and tolerating |
| GLP-1 receptor agonists | Semaglutide, Dulaglutide | Refills only if previously established and stable |
| Sulfonylureas (select cases) | Glipizide, Glimepiride | Refills only with low hypoglycemia risk |
We do not initiate insulin via tele-urgent care.
Safety Checks Before Prescribing
- Renal function (eGFR/BMP timeframe) and dehydration risk
- Drug interactions (e.g., with SGLT2/GLP-1, other therapies)
- GI tolerance (metformin), genitourinary infection risk (SGLT2)
- “Sick-day” rules for temporary medication holds when ill
When In-Person Care Is Safer
- Possible DKA/HHS symptoms (nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, deep rapid breathing, confusion)
- Uncontrolled sugars with significant symptoms or weight loss
- No labs for >12 months and higher-risk profile
What to Expect After Your Visit
Most pharmacies fill prescriptions within hours. You’ll receive written guidance on lab intervals (A1C, BMP/eGFR), home glucose goals, and when to check back.
