Counseling and family support
Diabetes Counselling is for all people living with all types of diabetes, their families and friends. Our aim is to connect people with diabetes and their families to a better quality of life. We understand that diabetes management goes hand in hand with your wellbeing.
Diabetic foot care
Diabetes can reduce the blood supply to your feet and cause a loss of feeling known as peripheral neuropathy. This can mean foot injuries do not heal well, and you may not notice if your foot is sore or injured. If you have diabetes, you’re 15 times more likely to have a limb amputated due to gangrene.
