Please complete this form as part of your annual review for Diabetes. You will still need to attend for bloods and a foot check if these are due but by completing this form we will be able to streamline your follow up as necessary.
If you do not have access to a blood pressure machine you can use the self check machine in reception without an appointment or ask for a BP check when attending for bloods.
More information on Diabetes can be found at Diabetes UK. More detailed information, if you have recently been diagnosed, can be also be found on this link – ‘The Diabetic Toolkit‘.
