Diabetes and Endocrinology

The overall philosophy of the Department is to provide a holistic, multidisciplinary service to those with diabetes, their family members and significant others. The overall aim of this Department is to assist those with diabetes:

• To acquire skills and knowledge so as to improve their health status;
• To minimise the effect of diabetes on daily living, lifestyle, occupation and recreation;
• To increase peoples' ability to manage their diabetes in realistic and achievable terms, particularly by learning how to achieve and maintain normoglycaemia, and by learning about the acute and chronic complications of diabetes.
