What do I need to do?

If you are asked to go along for an appointment before your yearly long term condition check up, it is important that you attend.

When you receive your results just take a look at them. See what you think and feel, you may be really happy or may have some worries about them. Don’t forget to have a think about things that would help you manage your diabetes more easily too.

Some of the things you might like to think about before your appointment are:

• Medical check-ups
• Taking medication
• Avoiding sugary foods
• Monitoring glucose levels
• Healthier eating
• Sexual health
• Your mood
• Eating the right amount
• Giving up smoking
• Alcohol within limits
• Foot care
• Regular physical activity
