Prediabetes & Type 2 Diabetes

Having a new diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes can sometimes feel overwhelming.  You are not alone, and there is a wide range of information and support groups within NHS Highland, for which we have provided more information below.

The practice will invite you for yearly(prediabetes) or twice yearly(type 2 diabetes)checks to help you monitor your health progress.
