Live-in care and diabetes

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.

Have you considered extra support from a live-in carer? This may be the answer that preserves independence while giving peace of mind.

With Vitality live-in care, you can rely on an exceptional level of diabetes care in your own home from an expert, multi-disciplinary team.

Our service always includes a private GP at no extra cost. 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).
