Local Support Groups: Being part of the Rothesay community means that we can connect you with local support groups where you can share experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges. These groups foster a sense of belonging and understanding.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose), which can lead to serious health complications if not managed correctly. According to the NHS, there are two main types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition where the body does not produce insulin. Management typically involves insulin therapy and lifestyle adjustments.

Type 2 Diabetes: Often linked to lifestyle factors, where the body doesn’t respond to insulin properly or doesn’t produce enough. This can often be managed through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication.

The NHS also highlights the significance of regular health checks. Patients should have their eyes, feet, kidneys, and heart monitored to prevent complications. Bute Pharmacy offers services that can help keep you on top of these important health needs.
