Diabetic Clinic
Diabetes is a common condition and is becoming more common. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the blood.
Some of the symptoms of diabetes are: thirst, needing to pass urine more frequently, tiredness, recurrent infections and unexplained weight loss. If you have any of these symptoms please make an appointment with a nurse or a doctor for a check up. Risk factors for diabetes include being overweight, not taking enough exercise and a family history of diabetes.
We hold diabetes clinics with our Practice Nurse by appointment.
