Our Diabetes Care Programme is designed to assist you in successfully managing your diabetes. Diabetes is a preventable and treatable condition when controlled. If left unmanaged, it can have major impacts on your quality of life, and of those around you.
Diabetes Appointment Options
Our team of highly trained nursing staff is available to meet with you either in person or virtually. If you’d prefer to see your GP, simply book an appointment as you normally would.
Preparing for your appointment
You will need to complete blood and urine tests to determine if your diabetes is controlled, or whether changes are required in your lifestyle (diet, exercise, weight loss), medication, or other.
You can book in your blood or urine test with us at our clinic, or get a form from our team to get it done at Awanui Labs.
You can also pop into our clinic before work or during your lunch break for a quick checkup, to make sure everything is tracking along with your blood pressure, weight, heart, feet and vision. The frequency of assessments can vary depending on your individual journey, but it ranges roughly between 3-6 months for standard weight, heart and blood pressure tests, annually for foot checks, and every two years for eye screening (unless required sooner).
We understand that balancing health appointments with work or personal commitments can be challenging. Please speak with our clinical team, who can help you tailor a diabetes management programme that suits your lifestyle/whānau commitments.
