Contact the Diabetes Team

In an emergency -  for diabetes patients only

In an emergency you can contact our team during the day or night – call these numbers for advice about managing diabetes when you are worried about illness, high blood glucose levels with ketones, hypoglycaemia, if you are unable to give/deliver insulin or measure blood glucose levels.

•    Daytime (8am – 6pm) – 0151 252 5766
•    Out of hours – 0151 228 4811. Ask for the diabetes out of hours on call service

You will be put through to the on-call member of the diabetes team. You may have to leave a message (we may be on another call or with a patient) but we will call you back within an hour.

The out of hours emergency number is for outpatient use only. If the query is about an inpatient it should be directed to the diabetes on call consultant via switchboard.
