Luton Integrated Community Diabetes Service

We support service users in clinic and on the telephone. We hold regular clinics at Luton Treatment Centre.

The specialist nurse reviews are for people who meet our referral criteria. This includes:

• being on maximum tolerated oral medication
• being on an injectable therapy to manage their diabetes

You will have a regular review from a diabetes specialist nurse. The frequency of these reviews will depend on your clinical needs.

Depending on your clinical needs, a diabetes support worker may do the supportive clinical duties.

The specialist nurse can review patients in their home if they are housebound. This is when you are unable to leave your home to go to your GP practice or the diabetes specialist nurse review clinic.

This is a not the same as the housebound routine diabetes review.

Routine annual diabetes reviews are usually completed by your GP. Some people are housebound and not able to leave their homes to go to their GP surgery.

We offer a routine annual diabetes review for housebound people with diabetes. A diabetes support worker will complete the annual diabetes review with you in your home.

You will need a referral to access this review. This service for people with diabetes who are housebound.
