Diabetes is a serious life-threatening condition. Diabetic patients, who have had an annual diabetes check regularly in the preceding seven years, have a mortality rate which is half the rate of those who have not. To help us, to help you, please be pro-active and fully engage in your own healthcare to organise your regular blood and urine tests and any drug monitoring we advise for you. Please book your annual diabetes review. We work closely with hospital Consultants and CLCH-commissioned diabetic nurse providers.
