NHS key Help Us Help You messages being promoted nationally during the week are:

• It’s important to attend your routine appointments. If you are concerned about your diabetes, don’t delay, contact your GP practice or diabetes team.

• Have the 4 Ts? It could be diabetes:

– Toilet – going to the toilet a lot?

– Thirsty – unable to quench your thirst?

– Tired – feeling more tired than usual?

– Thinner – losing weight?

Don’t delay, contact your GP practice or NHS 111.
