❓ Do you know the signs of hypoglycaemia?

Low blood sugar can come on quickly. Common signs include shaking, sweating, feeling confused or lightheaded.

If you suspect a hypo, treat it immediately. For adults, this means consuming 15–20g of a fast-acting carbohydrate for example:

4 jelly babies 🍬
a small glass of sugary drink 🥤
or a small pure fruit juice. 🍏

Afterwards, take a moment to rest and then check your levels again.

The days might be getting chillier, but family time keeps us warm! ❄️

We loved joining one of our clients for a cosy afternoon at with their family, enjoying hot chocolate and a game of dominoes. Lots of laughter, smiles and of course a little friendly competition!

Moments like these aren’t just fun, they’re great for wellbeing for both grandparents and grandchildren. Simple activities like this help everyone feel connected, happy, and cared for. 💛

The early signs of diabetes aren’t always obvious. They can creep in slowly.

Feeling more thirsty than usual, popping to the loo more often or noticing your vision going blurry now and then.

Cuts might take longer to heal, or you may feel unusually tired or hungrier than normal without knowing why.

If any of this sounds familiar for you or someone close to you, it could be worth getting things checked. Being aware can make a real difference.

📣 New article out now

Our Director Karen has written a heartfelt piece titled “When Care Doesn’t End at the End”.

In her article Karen emphasises something we believe deeply: care goes far beyond just the visits and support sessions. It’s about the relationships that are created, the bonds formed, the daily routines that become familiar and the fact that when the formal service ends, the meaning and connection don’t simply stop.

You can read it here :

Compassionate home care in Epsom and Leatherhead that goes beyond the care plan. Supporting families with connection, guidance and understanding, even after a loved one’s passing.

A lovely day out enjoying the views from Epsom Downs 🏇

Then we popped into the museum at Bourne Hall, where there’s a wonderful scale model of Epsom Downs - perfect for comparing what we’d just seen in real life!

A great mix of fresh air, local history and good company 💙

❓Did you know it’s not just what you eat that affects your blood sugar?

Stress can push your levels up because your body releases extra hormones.

Being unwell or fighting an infection can do the same.

Skipping meals or doing more exercise than usual can make your blood sugar drop.

Even a bad night’s sleep or certain medications can throw things off balance.

That’s why managing diabetes isn’t always straightforward and why keeping an eye on the whole picture matters. Our care professionals notice those little day-to-day changes that can help someone living with diabetes stay balanced and well.

A lovely day out doing some winter craft-making ❄️✨

We went with one of our clients for a creative session! All the handmade crafts from this event will be sold at Denbies, with proceeds going to charity.

These local activities run throughout November and it’s always wonderful to see our clients getting involved in the community and giving back in their own way. 💙

We will be going again so let us know if you are interested in joining us!
