Our care assistants provide compassionate, practical support to help you manage diabetes safely and confidently every day. This includes:

• Healthy eating support – guidance with meal planning, food shopping, and cooking nutritious meals.
• Regular meals and hydration – helping you maintain steady blood glucose levels through balanced nutrition and fluids.
• Encouragement to stay active – promoting movement and gentle exercise to support self-care, mental wellbeing, and reduce the risk of falls.
• Daily symptom management – assistance with common symptoms such as tiredness, blurred vision, changes in appetite, or weight fluctuations.
• Medication and glucose monitoring – reminders and help to check your blood sugar levels safely and consistently.
• Recognising early warning signs – identifying symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), such as confusion, headaches, personality changes, poor coordination, or dizziness, and taking prompt action.
• Coordinating care – liaising with healthcare professionals to ensure you receive the best possible treatment and ongoing support.

Above all, our care assistants are there to listen, offer reassurance, and provide the friendly companionship that makes daily life a little easier
