My Regular Checks - For People Living With Diabetes

Everyone living with Type 2 Diabetes should have these tests regularly to evaluate metabolic control and detect any possible complications.  This can help you stay on top of your health and prevent any potential issues before they cause symptoms. If there are any tests you have not had yet, please book an appointment with your GP or Diabetes Care team.
