I took very ill with Diabetes complications least year and ended up in the care of the wonderful nurses at Eastwood Clinic in East Renfrewshire.
They expertly navigated me through insulin injections, listened to my concerns and were always there whenever I had a question and sometimes when I just needed someone to talk to. Both Clare and Kathy were so kind, caring and helpful.
I am now at the other side and back in control of my diabetes, but still feel if I need help, I can phone and they will always be there for me.

I am delighted to hear how kind, caring and helpful Kathy and Clare have been and that ongoing support if available if you require it.
