Diabetes Support

Diabetes support,
managed at home

Diabetes is managed in the small daily details — glucose checks, insulin, foot care, diet. In-home diabetes support gives you a Registered Nurse to keep those details on track, prevent complications and coordinate with your GP and endocrinologist.

Diabetes support at home, steady daily control

We support people with type 1, type 2 and insulin-dependent diabetes, from those newly diagnosed and finding their feet to older people who need help with daily management.

The aim is steady, confident control at home — fewer hypos and hypers, fewer complications, and less worry for you and your family.

What we provide
Blood glucose monitoring

Accurate, regular glucose checks with clear records shared with your medical team so patterns are visible.

Insulin and medication

Safe insulin administration and broader medication management, plus education so you are confident between visits.

Foot and wound vigilance

Routine foot and skin checks to catch diabetic foot problems early, with wound care nursing if needed.

Education and self-management

Practical, plain-language education on diet, monitoring and warning signs that builds real independence.

What to expect

How in-home diabetes support works

Assessment, routine and prevention, in that order:

1
Assessment
A nurse reviews your diabetes management, medications, monitoring and any complications, and agrees goals with you.
2
Routine and education
We establish a monitoring and medication routine and teach the skills to manage day to day.
3
Monitoring and foot checks
Regular visits track glucose trends and check feet and skin, coordinating with your GP and endocrinologist.
4
Adjust and prevent
We adjust the plan as your needs change, always focused on preventing complications.
Why Paterson's

The consistency that prevents complications

Consistent daily management is what keeps diabetes complications at bay, and it is exactly what slips when someone is unwell, elderly or newly diagnosed. Our nurses provide that consistency and know when a change needs a doctor's input. With a clinical lead active in acute care, the guidance reflects current diabetes management, not outdated rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can a nurse administer my insulin?
Yes. Safe insulin administration is a core part of in-home diabetes support, along with teaching those who can to do it confidently themselves.
Why are foot checks so important with diabetes?
Diabetes can reduce sensation and healing in the feet, so small injuries can become serious quickly. Regular checks catch problems early, often preventing far bigger issues.
Do you work with my endocrinologist and GP?
Yes. We coordinate with your GP, endocrinologist and diabetes educator so everyone is working from the same plan.
I was just diagnosed and feel overwhelmed — can you help?
Absolutely. A lot of our work is helping newly diagnosed people build routines and confidence in the first weeks and months.
