For people experiencing homelessness, managing diabetes can be a significant challenge. Designed for use by both patients and those who support them, these two handy leaflets from Groundswell offer a comprehensive overview of the condition and its management.
The first looks at the clinical nature of diabetes, its three main types, symptoms, health implications and treatments, as well as providing signposting for further support and information.
The second looks in more detail at how patients can manage their diabetes through diet, prescribed medication, blood glucose monitoring and regular screenings.
