Being number one means taking on more responsibilities to ensure the continued health and well-being of the community as a whole. By uniting with Lilly Diabetes Walgreens is making their commitment to the community more obvious. Walgreens is attempting to continue their mission to be a health and wellness leader as part of an effort to counsel and educate citizens living "throughout the Indianapolis area" about hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) The materials issued to consumers and patients alike will contain information alerts on what to look for as far as symptoms are concerned.

"At Lilly Diabetes, we understand that managing diabetes extends beyond medicines to tools and resources that provide real personalized solutions to improve the quality of everyday life, which is why we're excited to collaborate with Walgreens to tackle the important and sometimes overlooked issue of hypoglycemia."
