Diabetes care

Do you live with diabetes and want to manage it as well as possible? Helan’s nurses visit you at home for expert care and guidance, tailored to your situation.

What can a home nurse do for you if you have diabetes?

Every situation is different. That is why we adapt our care to what you need. Our home nurses help you with things such as:

  • Monitoring your blood sugar level through blood glucose measurements. This is done with a small blood sample.
  • Advice on abnormal values, so that you can act quickly.
  • Giving insulin
  • Self-care, so that you gradually become much more independent.

 

Why follow-up matters

Follow-up only makes sense if action is taken. That is why:

  • Our nurses keep a close eye on your blood sugar level, measurement after measurement.
  • We report to your doctor in good time whenever a value is abnormal or needs attention.
  • We teach you step by step how to monitor your blood sugar yourself and, where possible, give your own insulin.
