Our focus for health awareness in June is Diabetes.  Diabetes is a condition where your blood glucose level is too high.  It can happen when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces isn’t effective.  There are two main types of Diabetes ; type 1 where you can’t make any insulin at all and type 2 where the insulin you make either can’t work effectively, or you can’t produce enough of  it.  It is important to manage your Diabetes effectively and at the surgery we provide annual checks including a blood test, foot check and a review appointment for patients.  Diabetes UK has an excellent website that provides advice and support to patients with Diabetes and is an especially good resource for recipes to adapt your diet.
