Help with the care of a diabetic loved one
Diabetes, with its constant monitoring requirements and the need for insulin injections, is difficult for anyone to manage. In particular, older people may struggle to adhere to a medication routine, particularly if they are living with other conditions such as dementia. Home Instead Care Professionals can visit your loved one as little or as often as required and can help with the management of diabetes. If your loved one needs insulin therapy, we can check blood sugar and administer insulin. You can rest assured your Care Professional will be trained to the highest clinical standards by working with your own health teams and our bespoke clinical training partners.Along with help to prepare healthy meals or supervision to enable your loved one to exercise safely, we can provide support in a range of ways to meet your individual needs such as hourly care, longer hours, or even live-in care.
