Whilst on the placement, I got an opportunity with an outreach with diabetes nurse clinic. I got an opportunity to see the patient that had come for the follow up visit how they were doing. Diabetes nurse try to find out the troubles or issues that patient is having problems to decrease their blood glucose level.

Diabetes nurse provide support to the patient of their outcomes including confident self care management. Nurses then look on the patients diet, medicines and the activities that patient is performing throughout the day which help to to decrease blood glucose.

They also give support and advise between appointments with things like blood sugar checks and adjusting the medication. I got a chance to learn how they usually work and help patient to improve their knowledge and confidence in managing their diabetes.
