Living Well with Type 2 Diabetes: new videos to support patients and patient conversations
Diabetes can be tough to manage for both patients and healthcare professionals. To help local NEL GPs and practice staff give clear and supportive advice to their diabetes patients, we are excited to share a series of videos led by local clinicians. The main goal is to give you the tools you need to talk effectively with your patients about diabetes management.
This video series has been carefully put together by doctors and diabetes experts to make sure the information is accurate and useful.
Each video covers a different part of diabetes care, from understanding the disease, signs and symptoms, medication, footcare advice and diet and lifestyle changes. The videos aim to answer common questions and concerns patients may have.
They are available in English, Sylheti and Somali.
The videos can be shared with patients or used in consultations.
