Well-managed diabetes is quiet; poorly-managed diabetes is anything but. Our home programme keeps it quiet: regular glucose monitoring, medication and injection support, foot and skin vigilance, and the practical education that turns good control into habit.
Is this right for me?
A relative needs help managing insulin or medication
Someone needs their blood sugars monitored at home
Feet need checking, or diet advice is needed
You want support when they're unwell (sick-day rules)
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.

After your visit
Support is tailored to daily life and reviewed by a clinician. With consent, we keep your NHS GP and diabetes team informed.
We provide this service across Lurgan, Craigavon and surrounding areas. Some surrounding locations may be available depending on the service, travel requirements and clinician availability.
Not sure if we cover your area? Call 028 9621 1981 with your postcode and our team will check — or see Areas we cover.

Yes — a family member, carer or authorised representative can contact us to arrange this for a patient, provided the patient consents. Many of our bookings are made by a son or daughter for a parent.
