Understanding diabetes care
Diabetes care often involves monitoring blood glucose, reviewing medicines, checking for complications and managing associated conditions such as blood pressure or kidney disease. A clinician can help determine which assessments are appropriate for an individual.
Questions to ask at an appointment
- Which doctor should coordinate my regular diabetes follow-up?
- What records or recent laboratory results should I bring?
- When might a specialist referral be needed?
When to seek urgent medical attention: Seek urgent medical help for marked confusion, loss of consciousness, persistent vomiting or difficulty breathing; do not wait for a routine appointment.
