Course Aims
Diabetes is a serious lifelong health condition that occurs when the amount of glucose, or sugar, in
the blood is too high. If left untreated, high blood glucose levels can cause serious health
complications.
Diabetes can develop in anyone at any point in their life although there are certain groups and age
ranges where it is more common. There are a range of symptoms that could indicate that someone
had Diabetes, these range from excessive thirst to feeling more tired than usual. It is believed that
up to 26% of residential and nursing home residents have Diabetes so being able to recognise the
symptoms and knowing how you can help them to manage the condition is essential.
