Jane 45 years old and has Type 2 diabetes • Initial care through GP surgery • Refer to JUGGLE – Jane can self refer • When you need more support – e.g. on two or three oral therapies and not sure what to do next. • If Practice nurse does joint clinics – can book into one of the joint clinics. • If Practice nurse does not do joint clinics – refer to hub and they will be triaged to your DSN clinic
Other things to consider • Dietetic referral • Healthy Change (or whatever it is going to be) • Psychological support • Repeat Juggle attendance • Fit4Life • Just make a phone call and ask or discuss with you DSN when they come to your practice

Planning Pregnancy for diabetes • Anyone of child bearing age who is sexually active should be asked if using contraception. • If not using contraception then they are planning a pregnancy. • Pre pregnancy planning slot at both hospitals for advice. • HbA1c check / annual review check / folic acid 5mg/drug check • Tell the hospital as soon as know pregnant – happy to take referral from anyone but need background information in a letter.
