Your Diabetes Check-Ups Matter.

What are diabetes health checks?

Regular diabetes health checks - sometimes called your yearly or annual review – are part of your routine NHS treatment.
Diabetes can cause other complications that can become serious if not picked up and monitored or treated in the early stages . It's important to get all your health checks so you can get the treatment you need to keep you healthy. If you don’t think you ’re getting the checks you should be, speak to your healthcare

Lately, our Emergency Department has been caring for more people who have had a fall. While falls can happen to any of us at any age, the winter weather can make people more susceptible.

There are some simple, easy ways to reduce the risk:

- Wear well-fitting footwear indoors and outdoors
- Avoid going out in bad weather unless essential; use online shopping or pharmacy deliveries
- Remove rugs and uneven carpets and use non-slip mats in the bath or shower
- Ask family, friends or neighbours for help with tasks, especially in icy conditions
- Consider installing safety rails on steps or grab rails in the bathroom
- Ensure your eyesight is checked and your prescription is up to date
- Stay active to improve balance and strength
- Eat well and stay hydrated to avoid dizziness or faintness

Our STEADY On! Team is dedicated to helping you stay safe, confident, and independent in your own home. You don't have to figure it out alone.

To refer yourself or a family member on their behalf contact the Intermediate Care Allocation Team (ICAT) on 01282 805989 and ask for a STEADY On! referral💚.
