Dr Richard Sheaves and the diabetes nurse specialist, Ms Jeannette Woods work as a team to support the patient with up-to-date clinical care, emotional support, on-going education and supportive telephone contact.

 

Together they work to help the patient understand diabetes, whilst enabling them to make their own choices, ensuring appropriate treatment according to their preferred lifestyle.  A close working relationship with a network of other specialists including cardiologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, general surgeons, dermatologists and cosmetic consultants.

 

The type of patients who may find this diabetes service particularly helpful are those who:

    having a negative impact on their quality of life

  - require pre-conceptual advice or intensive monitoring during pregnancy

  - are keen to take part in sport or adventure trips (with the support of our sports dietician)

  - want to find out more about new treatment options

  - require support and advise before, during or after surgery

  - have problems with hypoglycaemia or hypo unawareness

  - have problems losing weight

  - wish to consider drug or surgical management for weight loss

  - wish to understand food choices
