Diabetes Follow-Up Treatment Online — online health care in Ontario
See a licensed healthcare professional online for diabetes follow-up — no waiting room, no travel.
This follow-up checks for diabetic emergencies first — DKA/HHS symptoms, a lactic-acidosis warning pattern on metformin, new visual symptoms, or a non-healing foot wound — before reviewing your current regimen, side effects, and whether your annual screening (retinal exam, foot exam, kidney function) is up to date.
Newly diagnosed, or not diagnosed yet? This assessment is for people already being treated for diabetes. Start a general visit instead and the clinical team will take it from there.

Quick Self-Check
Answer a few quick questions. This isn't a diagnosis — a real clinical assessment is the next step either way.
How We Work
Your healthcare professional screens for emergency patterns first: vomiting, fast/deep breathing, fruity breath, confusion, or extreme thirst with a very high reading (possible DKA/HHS); unusual tiredness with nausea even at normal glucose on metformin (a possible lactic acidosis warning, distinct from routine metformin GI upset); new blurry vision, floaters, or a curtain/shadow (a same-day ophthalmology emergency); and any new, non-healing foot wound. Absent those, your regimen continues with side-effect-driven adjustments, and severe or unrecognized low blood sugar prompts a review of your glucose targets rather than just treating the immediate episode.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if metformin GI upset is something more serious?
Unusual tiredness combined with nausea, even when your blood sugar is normal or only slightly elevated, is treated as a possible lactic acidosis warning sign, distinct from routine metformin stomach upset (which is instead managed by switching to an extended-release formulation).
What should I do about new blurry vision or floaters?
New blurry vision, floaters, dark spots, or a curtain-like shadow needs same-day ophthalmology assessment for a possible retinal problem — this isn't something to wait on until your next routine visit.
What if I have a wound on my foot that isn't healing?
A new sore or non-healing area on the foot needs prompt assessment given the risk of complications if left untreated — daily self-checks and proper-fitting footwear help prevent this.
What if I've had a bad low blood sugar episode?
Needing help from someone else to treat a low, or not noticing lows before they become severe, changes your glycemic target and monitoring plan going forward, not just how that one episode is treated.
What screening will be checked at this visit?
Your healthcare professional confirms your annual retinal screening, foot exam, and kidney function (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio) are up to date, and tracks your A1c trend against target.
