Dorset Diabetes provides support for people across Dorset living with diabetes.
While most patients will receive their main diabetes care from their GP or practice nurse, their Intermediate Diabetes Dietetics Service helps people to control and manage their condition on a day-to-day basis.
Based in clinics around the county, their specialist staff work with patients to improve their knowledge and skills, in order to help prevent both short- and long-term complications from diabetes.
