Going for regular check-ups

Type 2 diabetes check-ups help you reduce the risk of other health problems related to diabetes and help spot and manage any problems early.

Every 3 to 6 months
Blood sugar checks (HbA1C test)

Checks your average blood sugar levels and how close they are to normal.

You have these checks every 3 months when newly diagnosed, then every 6 months once you're stable.

This can be done by your GP or diabetes nurse.

At least once a year
Feet

Checks if you've lost any feeling in your feet, and for ulcers and infections.

This can be done by your GP, diabetes nurse or podiatrist.

Speak to your GP immediately if you have cuts, bruises or numbness in your feet.

Blood pressure, cholesterol, kidneys and weight

Checks for high blood pressure, heart and kidney disease, and your weight, BMI and waist measurement.

This can be done by your GP or diabetes nurse.

Every 1 to 2 years
Eyes

Checks for damage to blood vessels in your eyes.

These checks are usually by a diabetic eye screening service. They may be once a year or every 2 years, depending on your risk and previous test results.

Speak to your GP immediately if you have blurred vision.
