👁️ Focus on Your Health, Reduce Your Stress
Living with diabetes can sometimes feel overwhelming, and worrying about your long-term health can easily add to everyday pressures.

This April is Stress Awareness Month, and the 2026 campaign theme is —a powerful reminder that taking small, positive actions can significantly improve our mental and physical wellbeing. One of the most effective ways to lower health-related stress is to take proactive control of your care.

If you are living in the Norfolk and Waveney area, attending your annual diabetic eye screening is a simple, positive action that can take a huge weight off your shoulders.

Why keeping your screening appointment matters:

Peace of Mind: Routine checks catch any microscopic changes to your eyes early, giving you reassurance and removing the stress of the "unknown."

It’s Quick and Simple: The appointment usually takes just 30 to 40 minutes out of your day.

You Stay in Control: Protecting your vision empowers you to stay independent and manage your condition confidently.

Take Action Today
Be the change for your own peace of mind. If you have received your invitation letter from the Norfolk and Waveney Diabetic Eye Screening Programme, please don't push it to the bottom of your to-do list.

Book your appointment today, or reach out to the local booking team if you need to reschedule 01603 542244.
