Your annual review

Your annual review is very important and will be carried out by your diabetes care team. You should think of it as a health MOT that will check all your risk factors and screen you for any possible complications.

As a reminder, key measurements checked at your annual review are:

• Weight

• Blood Pressure

• Blood tests for Glucose (HbA1C), Kidneys (Creatinine/ eGFR)

• Urine tests for protein (ACR)

• Foot Screening

• Eye Screening

The most important thing to remember is that complications can be prevented, and there are a lot of things you can do to stay healthy. Your annual review is a key part of taking care of yourself and ensuring long-term health.

The  Diabetes UK website also gives more information on a wider range of conditions that are more common in diabetes.
