Routine diabetes care is one of the most practical opportunities to identify and reduce cardiovascular and renal risk, yet many people miss the checks that help detect problems early and prevent complications. This session explores why that happens, who is most affected, and what health systems can do to make diabetes checks easier to access. Drawing on Diabetes UK insight, practical examples and national priorities, attendees will leave with ideas they can use locally to improve uptake, reduce inequalities and support better CVRM outcomes.
