What it is
A condition where blood sugar stays higher than it should, because the body either does not make enough insulin or does not respond to it properly. It develops gradually.
What a review covers
Blood tests, blood pressure, weight, a foot check, a reminder about eye screening, and a look at medication. It is one appointment rather than several, which is the point of doing it annually.
