👁️ Focus on Your Health, Reduce Your Stress
Living with diabetes can sometimes feel overwhelming, and worrying about your long-term health can easily add to everyday pressures.

This April is Stress Awareness Month, and the 2026 campaign theme is —a powerful reminder that taking small, positive actions can significantly improve our mental and physical wellbeing. One of the most effective ways to lower health-related stress is to take proactive control of your care.

If you are living in the Norfolk and Waveney area, attending your annual diabetic eye screening is a simple, positive action that can take a huge weight off your shoulders.

Why keeping your screening appointment matters:

Peace of Mind: Routine checks catch any microscopic changes to your eyes early, giving you reassurance and removing the stress of the "unknown."

It’s Quick and Simple: The appointment usually takes just 30 to 40 minutes out of your day.

You Stay in Control: Protecting your vision empowers you to stay independent and manage your condition confidently.

Preparing for your Diabetic Eye Screening? We’ve got you covered! 📋👓

A routine screening is vital for managing diabetes, and a little preparation makes your visit smooth and stress-free. We’ve designed this simple patient checklist so you don’t forget the essentials.

We strongly emphasize the need for a designated driver, as vision will be significantly impaired by dilating eye drops for up to six hours post-appointment.
