Diabetes Week 2026 💙
This week is Diabetes Week – a chance to raise awareness of diabetes, celebrate good diabetes care, and encourage everyone living with diabetes to take advantage of their annual review.
Did you know that all patients with diabetes in Guernsey are entitled to one annual diabetic check each calendar year, funded by the States of Guernsey
Your annual review is an important opportunity to:
✔ Review your blood sugar control
✔ Check blood pressure, weight and cardiovascular risk
✔ Discuss medications and any side effects
✔ Arrange or review important monitoring tests
✔ Identify any early complications and keep you as healthy as possible
Even if you're feeling well, regular reviews can make a significant difference to your long-term health.
If you have diabetes and haven't yet had your annual diabetic check this year, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
Prevention, early detection and good control remain the keys to living well with diabetes.
