'Continues to be a success in supporting diabetics'

Many newly-diagnosed diabetics telephone our Helpline and we always try to meet them for a coffee locally to discuss their condition. Up to then, most of them have had nobody to talk to as unfortunately the local GP only has five minutes to offer a patient. By contrast in USA the new diabetic would get three hours with a doctor andone1 hour with a psychiatrist to help them get into the right frame of mind.

We are willing to meet and support any diabetic outside our normal monthly meeting times in Fuengirola, Coin and Alhaurin de Ia Torre, visiting them at other locations if necessary. If required, we will contact the relevant doctor on the callers behalf or refer on to our specialist.

The Helpline will guide you and provide the information you need to manage your condition and to ensure the correct arrangements are in place at your local medical centre, such as prescriptions and check-ups.
