"From the first time I got in touch with Right at Home, the service from the beginning has been unbelievable. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more caring and wonderful team of people who are caring for my mother-in-law. She enjoys seeing the carers when they go in, they treat her with respect. We are very grateful to have found a company that really cares about their clients and to have trained their staff to such a high standard. A very big thank you to everyone, I would recommend you to anyone (I have)."

Diabetes FAQs

What are the first signs of being a diabetic?

If you’re awaiting a diagnosis and planning ahead for potential diabetes care, it’s important to know which symptoms to look out for.

Early symptoms of diabetes often include:

Unexplained weight loss
Increased urination
Excessive thirst and a dry mouth
Fatigue

You may also experience increased hunger, blurred vision and even a numb or tingling sensation in your feet. These symptoms can cause discomfort and distract you from your daily routine.

Speak to your healthcare professionals to confirm the type of diabetes you have before getting in touch with our team in Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe to discuss a diabetes care plan.

In the meantime, read our guide to Health Awareness, to help you spot any warning signs early.

Can you live a normal life with diabetes?

Many Clients and loved ones across Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe approach our specialist team to ask: ‘how does diabetes affect a person’s life?’.

Most people can live an entirely normal life whilst managing their diabetes. Though, of course, as with any diagnosis, everyone responds to the condition slightly differently.

For many people with diabetes, management can be simple. Making careful food choices and maintaining a consistent diet and exercise routine go a long way.

We recognise that a “normal life” may look different for everyone. That’s why our Carers in Ipswich, Woodbridge & Felixstowe work closely with all Clients to define a tailored care plan.

What are the effects of diabetes?

The impact of diabetes on a person’s life can vary dramatically.

With proper care and management, diabetes may have fairly minimal effects on your day-to-day life. However, a lack of appropriate care can result in serious health complications related to diabetes mellitus.

Common side effects of diabetes include:

Foot ulcers
Cardiovascular complications
Kidney disease
Impaired vision
Gum disease and dental issues
Stroke
Nerve damage
Fatigue

Our diabetes care plans are designed to help you manage the disease and prevent negative side effects.
