GP assistance for a chronic condition - diabetes

I am a diabetic and have been so since the age of 6 (I am now 55). My latest blood sugar readings have been very erratic. As I travel regularly it is very difficult for me to go to see my GP. I am worried that I might lapse into a coma.. How can MedClick help me?

There are many reasons why your blood sugar levels may suddenly fluctuate after all these years of stability. As you are at home only infrequently, you would probably benefit from an online discussion with a GP in an attempt to establish the reasons why this could be happening. The MedClick GP may be able to assist you in identifying some of the causes for the fluctuation and advise you on some of the strategies you can employ to avoid the possibility of you lapsing into a coma. Having been a diabetic for so many years, you are probably very aware of your condition, but good advice should put your mind at rest.

In addition to the medical aspects of your diabetes, MedClick can also offer you a consultation with a nutritionist, who may well be able to indicate dietary inadequacies from which you may be suffering, or advise you on how your diet may be altered to benefit your condition. MedClick always endeavours to look at the whole picture rather than just the initial health problem and it is for this reason that numerous additional services are available.
