We understand that managing diabetes can be especially challenging in some situations, for example when you’re getting older or if a loved one also has dementia.
Yet maintaining good blood sugar control is crucial with diabetes, for safety and to minimise complications.

They have many years of experience in treating people with this condition, and they know that a tailored and well-supported programme of nutrition and exercise is vital for excellent diabetes care. Such a programme can be supported by your live-in carer (we call them Personal Assistants).
