Annual diabetic exam
Annual diabetic exam
The annual diabetic review pulls together everything that needs checking once a year in one visit, so nothing quietly slips. It covers the control markers, the complication screening, and the medication review together rather than piecemeal.
What's Involved
- Control assessment — HbA1c, blood pressure, and lipid review against your targets.
- Complication screening — Foot, eye, and kidney checks arranged as part of the same visit.
- Plan review — Medication, diet, and activity discussed and adjusted for the year ahead.
When to Come In
- Twelve months since your last review — An annual check regardless of how well things feel.
- New diagnosis — Establishing a baseline in the first year.
- Missed screenings — Foot, eye, or kidney checks that have fallen behind.
