Diabetes Care Planning
Diabetes Control
Your HbA1c is an overall measure of glucose control over the past 810 weeks. A level of between 48mmol/mol and 58mmol/mol is
associated with the lowest risk of complications
Blood Pressure
A target blood pressure of below 140/80 lowers the risk of
complications
Cholesterol and blood fats
Lowering your cholesterol can reduce the risk of complications such
as heart attacks and strokes. Whether or not you need treatment
depends on your overall risk.
If you are on treatment the target
cholesterol is less than 5
Kidney tests
Your kidneys are tested by looking at a blood test (creatinine) and the
leak of protein from your kidney
Weight and body mass index
Being overweight increases the risk of many medical conditions
including heart disease, arthritis and premature death. It can also
make your diabetes and blood pressure more difficult to control.
The body mass index (BMI) is another way to look at your weight by
adjusting for your height. A BMI between 19 and 25 is associated
with the lowest risk to your health.
Smoking
Smoking causes problems with your health in many ways but is
particularly damaging in people with diabetes
Foot check
Diabetes significantly increases your chances of developing foot
ulcers that may lead to an amputation.
Annual professional
assessment and regular foot checks by you are essential to prevent
foot complications
Retinal screening
Diabetes significantly increases your chances of developing problems
with your eyes and may lead to loss of sight. Attending the annual
eye screening appointment helps to detect the early signs of eye
problems
