East Lindsey Medical Group

Diabetes

The majority of people with diabetes are looked after by the Practice Diabetes Team.

We like to see all people with diabetes twice a year, once during their annual health check and again 6 months later.

You will receive an invite for both the annual health check and normally a 6 month review. Both of the appointments will be with a Nurse and you will need to have a blood test before each appointment.

There are times when you will need to be seen more often than twice a year, for example after you are first diagnosed or if problems are detected during one of the routine reviews.

We arrange these additional reviews as needed and they may be with either a Nurse or one of the Doctors.
