Mobile Diabetes - Telemedicine Clinic

Condition Specific Support and Indigenous Services

Provided by Carrier Sekani Family Services

Provides mobile diabetes prevention and intervention education, checkups and testing in communities all across Northern British Columbia.
The team includes a Diabetes Nurse Educator, a Vision Technician, and a Manager who collaborate with diabetes experts across the province. Provides partnership with clients and other health professionals and caregivers in the community to assess health. Questions about lifestyle may be asked such as what pills you are taking or a history of illness. Some of the tests the Nurse might administer include a finger-prick test, blood pressure test, a foot exam, an eye exam, and a urine (pee) test.

The Nurse will provide test results during the clinic. Clients will be able to discuss diabetes with the Nurse and explore lifestyle changes to help live better with diabetes and keep it under control. The vision technician will perform an eye exam to see if diabetes is affecting your sight. Then the technician sends your eye exam results to a specialist in Vancouver. Once the specialist sees your results, he will contact your doctor. All of the test results from the clinic will go to your family doctor and another specialist who is an expert on diabetes.

The program visits many communities on a yearly basis and provides follow-up phone calls in between. The nurses are also available should parents have any questions or concerns.
