Appointment with diabetes nurse

Our nurses will give you a thorough overview of what diabetes is and how it can affect your health in the short and long term. We share advice on how to eat healthy and take diabetes medicines correctly to achieve and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

We will also teach you to recognise the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), to understand its potential risk factors, and to apply the necessary first aid measures. Our goal is to support you in achieving your treatment goals so that you and your loved ones can cope with diabetes more easily in your daily lives.

In addition, practical skills are taught, such as:

• checking blood sugar with a glucometer (if necessary, we will provide the glucometer free of charge) and evaluating the results;
• the installation of a glucose sensor (necessary for the patient to bring the sensor), its use and the evaluation of blood sugar readings;
• assessment of the insulin injection technique and treatment effectiveness;
• adjustment of insulin doses according to different influences (e.g. pregnancy, exercise, diet, illness);
• instructions and use of insulin pump treatment;
• daily care and control of the legs for the prevention of diabetes complications.
