Support for people living with diabetes is available at every stage, whether the condition is newly diagnosed or something that’s been managed for many years.
Care usually begins in GP practices, where nurses and GPs provide day‑to‑day support, medication reviews, and regular checks. Many people also benefit from seeing a dietitian, who can offer personalised advice on food, nutrition, and building healthy routines that work in everyday life.
Specialist diabetes nurses are on hand in many areas to help with more complex needs, while podiatry services support foot health and help prevent complications. Regular eye screening is another key part of staying well, ensuring changes are spotted early.
Alongside NHS Wales services, a range of third sector organisations offer practical information, emotional support, and opportunities to connect with others. This includes online forums, helplines, local peer groups, and resources designed to help people feel informed and supported.
Wherever you are on your diabetes journey, help is always available.
