Diabetes
What we do
We provide a comprehensive diabetes service across both hospitals, with close links to colleagues in other teams to ensure a seamless experience of care for patients. Although the services are arranged slightly differently across sites, both are focused on the investigation and management of diabetes, including emergencies and additional complications.
All patients living with diabetes are advised to follow the sick day rules at all times. Specific advice is provided in the links below:
- CSII—Troubleshooting Guide
- DAFNE
- TREND-UK Sick day rules in Type 1 Diabetes
- TREND-UK Sick day rules in Type 2 Diabetes
- Diabetes UK—Coronavirus and diabetes
- Breakthrough T1D—Type 1 diabetes resources
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital
Our Beta Cell Centre is a one-stop shop that allows patients with diabetes to be treated under the same roof by a variety of diabetes specialists working as a team. The centre also supports The Kensington and Chelsea Community Diabetes Service, which runs diabetes clinics across the local area and enables many patients to be treated away from the hospital. We also run specialist clinics, including those for insulin pumps, HIV, antenatal care, psychiatry, hypertension, and a dedicated adolescent clinic to help young patients come to terms with their condition and match their treatment to their adult life. We also manage diabetic emergencies and foot disease.
West Middlesex University Hospital
We provide sub-specialist diabetes clinics for adolescents and young adults, pregnant mothers, and a dedicated foot ulcer clinic. We also provide inpatient support to other teams for the management of individuals with diabetes, which may impact their hospital treatment. We deliver a very high level of care and education to help prevent the vast array of complications associated with diabetes, particularly heart disease, stroke, blindness, amputation, and kidney failure.
