We support children and young people up to 18 diagnosed with Type 1, Type 2 and other forms of diabetes, and their families.
We are a multi-disciplinary team of:
- consultant diabetes paediatricians
- specialist diabetes nurses
- paediatric dietitians specialising in diabetes
- access to clinical psychology
- a children’s diabetes care coordinator
- healthcare assistants
Our aim is to pass on knowledge and skills while giving support and enabling self-management.
Day-to-day management of diabetes is very complex.
It involves:
- glucose monitoring
- finger pricking
- calculating insulin doses with food
- trying to regulate a glucose reading between 4-7mmols
We are available daily to give training and advice to all care givers in all areas of children and young people’s lives.
