Condition
Diabetes & Blood Sugar
Diagnosis, medication review and day-to-day control of high blood sugar.
Diabetes and pre-diabetes are among the most common conditions seen in general practice. The goal of care is steady blood sugar, protection of the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves, and a routine you can actually keep up with.
What patients often report
- Increased thirst or frequent urination
- Unusual tiredness or blurred vision
- Slow-healing wounds or repeated infections
- Unexplained weight loss or gain
How it is assessed
- Fasting and post-meal blood sugar, plus HbA1c
- Blood pressure, weight and waist measurement
- Kidney function, cholesterol and urine protein
- Eye and foot check reminders
How care is usually structured
- A simple, realistic diet and activity plan
- Starting or adjusting medication when needed
- Screening for complications before they cause symptoms
- Regular reviews with reports carried to every visit
When to seek urgent care
- Very high sugar with vomiting or drowsiness
- Confusion, deep rapid breathing or fruity breath
- A non-healing foot wound with fever
If any of these apply, go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services — do not wait for a routine appointment.
