If you are diagnosed with pre-diabetes, you will be offered an annual review to monitor your blood levels and ensure your condition has not progressed to diabetes. Speak to the nurse, HCA, or Wellbeing Worker about being referred to the ‘Healthier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Program.’ This nine-month program will equip you with the tools needed to prevent diabetes.
If you develop diabetes, your care will be managed by one of our highly trained diabetic nurses, Nurse Chris or Nurse Becky, along with the support of the nursing and HCA team. You will be invited for an annual health check and biannual blood tests to monitor your condition and medications.
Diabetic patients will be offered annual retinal screening and referral to the local DESMOND program.
