Course Description
CPD Approved
Diabetes is a serious lifelong health condition that occurs when the amount of glucose, or sugar, in the blood, is too high. If left untreated, high blood glucose levels can cause serious health complications.
Diabetes can develop in anyone at any point in their life although there are certain groups and age ranges where it is more common. There is a range of symptoms that could indicate that someone has diabetes: these range from excessive thirst to feeling more tired than usual. It is believed that up to 26% of residential and nursing home residents have diabetes, so being able to recognise the symptoms and knowing how you can help them to manage the condition is essential.
