What your type 1 diabetes team will do

What your type 1 diabetes team will do

Your diabetes team should tell you about type 1 diabetes and how to test your blood, inject insulin and look out for problems.

Your diabetes team should meet with you at the diabetes clinic 4 times a year to check how you are doing.

If you have questions or are worried about your diabetes, you can ask your team for help. You should be given a phone number you can use to call your diabetes team. If you need help urgently, you should be able to call them at any time of the day or night.

Younger children can find out more about the diabetes clinic on the Diabetes UK website.
