Newham Community Adult Diabetes Service
The Newham Community Adult Diabetes Service aims to equip people to manage the condition to stay well, to intervene at an early stage if issues arise, reduce complications resulting from diabetes and reduce preventable hospital admissions.
Our Aim
The service provides people with a diagnosis of diabetes with comprehensive and individualised specialist care. This includes a structured education service for adults with Type 2 Diabetes to enable you understand the condition and learn how to manage it, make adjustments and know when you need to escalate an issue.
Support to Mental Health Units
We provide an in-reach diabetes service to adult mental health wards in the Trust to ensure that the service users diabetes management continues and is monitored even if they are experiencing a mental health crisis. We also provide a Paediatric Diabetes service in conjunction with Newham University Hospital.
