Services

Diabetes

We have a team of Specialist Diabetes nurses who educate and support people with diabetes to help them control, understand and manage their diabetes and live as full a life as possible.

Note: the information below relates to the usual services we provide.

Home visits are available for the housebound. Diabetes specialist services are provided by Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust in north Kirklees.

Type One Diabetic patients may self-refer by calling 0300 304 5555. Type Two Diabetic patients will need to be referred via the GP.  Please discuss your query or concern with your GP who can assist you and then consider referral onto the Diabetes Nursing Team if required.

All Type One Diabetic patients are eligible for Continuous Glucose Monitors upon completing a 45-minute webinar. For more details, please speak to your Specialist Diabetes Nurse or your GP.

At Locala Health and Wellbeing we are committed to our patients, and the wider community, is at the heart of all that we do. We want to hear what our patients and communities are saying, and involve you in how our community healthcare services are delivered. There are different ways you can get involved including:

Becoming a member - be better informed about Locala and our services, and receive invitations to complete surveys, attend events, be a mystery shopper, look at patient feedback and join in discussions - you can be involved as much, or as little, as you like.

Volunteering to work directly with our services - you can use your skills and experiences to support our services and benefit our patients.

Visit our 'Tell Us What You Think' - let us know what you think about the services you have used. We do listen and do make changes based on the feedback we get.
