Care for type 2 Diabetes is offered on a six
monthly basis, or more frequently as necessary,
to pick up any health problems that may develop.
An important part of this is continuing
lifestyle advice, blood pressure, urine testing,
care of feet and eyes and blood tests for renal
function, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Newly diagnosed diabetics see the Dietician
who attends the surgery monthly. Advice is also
given about medication for the treatment of
diabetes – tablets and insulin.
We ask that blood tests are performed twelve
days before the six monthly reviews with the
Diabetes Nurse/Doctor.
