Frequently asked questions
How often will I be seen?
Follow-up intervals are set individually, based on your condition, your readings and how your treatment is working.
Can you help with a medical aid motivation for a CGM?
Yes. Suitability is assessed clinically and a motivation letter can be prepared where a continuous glucose monitor is appropriate for you.
Do I need a referral to attend the clinic?
