Can I get a prescription for diabetes medication online?
Generally speaking, refills or bridge prescriptions are available from your Amwell physician with an online video visit; however, in those states that allow it, new prescriptions for non-controlled medications (diabetes medications are not controlled substances) may be prescribed at the discretion of your Amwell physician, who will make that determination after conducting your online exam and obtaining information from you such as the timing and results of your last lab tests, and when you last had a physical exam. More information is available in the FAQs on our Prescriptions resource page that offer further clarification.

September is Suicide Prevention Month – which aims to create hope through action by creating safe spaces for those struggling with the goal of preventing suicide all together. The issue is far reaching. Nearly 46,000 individuals died by suicide in 2020, and 46% of those people had a known mental health condition. Although mental health issues and illnesses, like depression, can lead to suicide, there are many reasons someone may decide to take their own life. However, most people believe that suicide can be prevented.
