Diagnosis
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of diabetes, or have any risk factors, you should consult your doctor for further advice as to whether you should be checked for diabetes.
When you are first diagnosed with diabetes, you may have mixed feelings. You may be relieved that you now know why you have not been feeling well. Although you now know that your condition can be treated, you may also have some concerns. This is a perfectly normal reaction and your diabetes team will be able to answer any questions you, or your family, have.
