Type 2 Diabetes support that makes a difference at New Kirk Clinic

A Diabetes diagnosis can be a big shock to many people.  Often the first thought is "how can I get this under control", followed by scrolling through stories of the potential health and life impacts of diabetes.  You can feel quite alone and wondering who can help plan out what to do next.

At New Kirk Clinic, we offer personalised care and support for managing your blood sugar, improving your health, and living life on your terms.  

At a diabetes support appointment we will take a full history from you, including, current diagnosis details, medications you take, family history etc to build up a complete picture of your current status.  

Next we will carry out an examination and measure height, weight and blood pressure.

And finally we will take a blood sample to do a full blood analysis, covering all aspects of your health such as kidney and liver function, full blood count, Cholesterol, Thyroid function as well as many more elements, including an up to date HBA1C level.

Once we have all this information we can identify any particular issues, and help you create a personal plan to improve your diabetes.  This will include lifestyle advice, nutrition and diet, as well as a basic exercise / activity plan to help get your health back on track.

As an additional option you can book a dedicated 60 minute appointment with our specialist nutritionist / dietician, where you can really dive into the details of your individual requirements, carrying out full body composition analysis.
