Improve your quality of life with a professional diabetes home care service dedicated to supporting you in the place you know best, your home.
Living with diabetes requires additional care and attention to various lifestyle factors to avoid further complications like hypoglycaemia. Our carers undergo specialist training to assist people with diabetes to maintain a healthy lifestyle within the comfort of their own home. We create personalised care plans for all of our clients, ensuring your daily needs are met.
Our multi-award-winning home care service aims to maximise your independence by providing professional support with medications, diet, and domestic tasks. Reach out today to learn more about how we can support you with day-to-day diabetes home care.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting your body's ability to process blood sugar, requiring ongoing management to avoid further complications.
Diabetes is a condition in which the body struggles to regulate blood sugar due to inadequate insulin production or action. There are two main types:
Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and hunger. Doctors recommend managing diabetes by monitoring blood glucose levels, maintaining a balanced diet, and regularly engaging in physical activity. Early diagnosis and consistent management help mitigate complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, and vision issues.
I help people with diabetes manage their daily routines, take their meds, and keep up with diet and exercise. Seeing them keep their independence and live better because of my support is rewarding. Knowing I can make such a big difference in someone's day feels amazing and makes me proud of what I do.
Our home care service provides a personalised approach to managing your diabetes. We'll create a bespoke care plan tailored to your needs and our care assistants will support you with the tasks you're finding most challenging. Whether that's helping you stay on track with your medication schedule or assisting you with errands, our carers are here to compliment your existing routines.
Additionally, our carers can assist with meal preparation to ensure dietary guidelines are followed and help with domestic tasks to keep your living space comfortable and safe. This support helps you maintain a balanced routine and effectively manage your diabetes, enhancing your overall quality of life. Carers can also assist with personal care, if required.

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
