🧪 Diabetes and Your Urine Check 🧪

You may wonder 💭 why we are always asking you to bring in a urine sample as part of your Diabetes Annual Review ?

It’s a tiny test that protects your kidneys.

🚰 Why it matters:

🔺Diabetes can quietly affect your kidneys.

🔺A urine test can spot early damage before you feel unwell.

🔍 What we’re looking for:

Albumin — a type of protein.
If it’s leaking into your urine, it’s an early warning sign.

💡 Why early detection helps:

✔ Simple treatment changes
✔ Protects your kidneys
✔ Better long-term health

🗓️ Please bring your urine sample when requested as part of your annual diabetes review.

💬 Need a sample bottle? Just ask at reception.
