Your first appointment

On your first appointment with the doctor, you will be asked questions about your own health history and that of your family. This helps us to understand about your current health problems and evaluate your risk of future health problems.

Please feel free to write down details and bring them with you.

At this appointment and all subsequent appointments please bring with you:

• Your patient record file with all relevant prescriptions
• Records of your home blood sugar readings (if you test your sugars at home)
• If you have received a blood test form: please have these done about 5-10 days before your appointment, the results will then be available for us to discuss with you.

Regular appointments

You will continue to have regular appointments depending on your needs. At VG Advantage, you would be constantly monitored and evaluated to keep your diabetes and thyroid levels at check and if and when the need arises, specialist care shall be suggested.

Care between appointments

The staff at VG Advantage can be contacted between appointments via phone, email or fax, for any queries or help in scheduling appointments.
