This clinic is led by our team of clinicians and nurses, who will invite you to attend regular reviews in order to assess your needs, as well as refer you, if you wish, to a diabetic patient programme to help you with lifestyle changes.
A diabetic review will include:
-
A blood test which checks your average blood sugar levels.
-
A blood pressure check, and cholesterol test to ensure your kidneys are in good working order.
-
A review of your weight and body mass index
-
An eye screening test to check for signs of diabetic retinopathy, which is a complication of diabetes.
-
A foot assessment to make sure you don’t have problems with nerves or circulation in your feet.
-
A medication review to make sure that the medication you are taking are still working correctly
