Diabetic Services
Our diabetes clinic supports people living with diabetes, including specialist care for diabetic foot ulcers.
Understanding diabetes
Diabetes is a long-term condition in which blood sugar stays too high, because the body does not make enough insulin or cannot use it properly. Type 1 usually starts in childhood; type 2 is more common and is linked to weight, diet and activity.
Get tested if you notice: passing urine often, being very thirsty, losing weight without trying, or feeling tired all the time.
Keeping track: checking your own blood sugar with a glucometer, as your doctor advises, helps you and our team keep it in a safe range with diet, activity and medicine.

- Follow-up until the wound has closed
