All patients with diabetes should have a blood test (for diabetes control, kidney function, cholesterol levels) done one week prior to their appointment. This can be arranged at your GP surgery, or here at the RUH (B9). The doctor will have put a request on the system at your previous appointment, but if it is your first visit please ask your GP to request it
Please bring a urine sample, blood glucose meter and your most up-to-date prescription to the clinic appointment
