Expertise in Diabetes Care SameDayDoctor private clinic specialises in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes care. Visit our walk in diabetes test services with a private diabetes specialist for private diabetes tests. Comprehensive Testing In addition to carrying out full blood and urine testing, we organise the assessment of heart and kidney function, manage blood pressure and diet, and arrange neurological and ophthalmic assessments. Diabetes Management Services We are able to initiate and manage insulin therapy and teach self-testing for home blood glucose testing. Dietary management is important for all types of diabetes, and we are supported by dietitians who can advise on weight loss (particularly for type 2 diabetes) if appropriate. Appointment Booking An appointment at SameDayDoctor clinics can be made by phone or email. Preventing long-term complications Our aim is to manage diabetes successfully and reduce the incidence of long-term complications. Detailed health assessments Our experienced clinicians can assess blood glucose levels, glycosylated haemoglobin, kidney and liver function, cholesterol and triglycerides, and cardiac risk. We also perform a full dietary assessment, including balancing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Tailored Dietary Plans We can advise on appropriate diets for type I and type II diabetes. Specialised Consultations We have access to consultant endocrinologists who can also advise us on other matters relating to diabetes and its complications. Our clinicians have experience changing insulin therapy and tailoring it to the needs of the individual and their own personal exercise and dietary programmes. Long-Term Care We have a number of patients who consult us on a long-term basis for the management of their condition, and we have treatment plans tailored to the individual to ensure the best control of blood sugar and the prevention of the long-term complications of diabetes.
