Diabetes checks ensure that your diabetes is well managed.

Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. Diabetes is a common disease, yet every individual needs unique care.Diabetes related complications are serious and can be life threatening which makes them the most serious concern for people with diabetes.

Our 3 monthly comprehensive diabetes checks ensure that your diabetes is well managed. The risk of diabetes-related complications is reduced when blood glucose levels, blood pressure and blood fats are kept as close to normal as possible. Contact one of our doctors for more specific information.
