You’re not alone on your journey. My diabetes education and support services are here to inform, educate and empower you to live a happier and healthier life.
Diabetes education and support services are available not only to you, but your loved ones and carers too, ensuring they’re better equipped to support you along the way.
I work with patients who have:
• Newly diagnosed prediabetes • Type 1 diabetes • Type 2 diabetes • Gestational diabetes
Services include:
- Education for people newly diagnosed with prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes: including blood glucose monitoring, understanding medications, incorporating and balancing exercise and activity and hypoglycaemia management.
- Understanding screening of complications associated with diabetes.
- Dietary assessment and individualised advice related to health goals.
- Education on starting insulin and life balance.
- Managing insulin sport and exercise.
- Sick day principles and individualised plans.
Insulin pump therapy plays an important role in diabetes management.
Research has shown that insulin pump therapy can reduce the frequency of severe hypoglycaemia as well as improve quality of life. Using a pump may also improve suboptimal blood glucose control. It is important that you have realistic expectations about pump therapy.

To support you on your everyday diabetes journey, continuous glucose monitoring is vital.
I’m here to help you find the right continue glucose monitoring method for you, ensuring you feel comfortable using it day to day.
Increasing your confidence and peace of mind whilst improving your self-management of diabetes, is made possible with the help of smart meters and insulin bolus calculators.
Insulin meal bolus calculators can help improve postprandial (meal) glucose control, reduce dosing errors and diminish fears of hypoglycaemia. This is a great option for people looking for greater flexibility in their eating habits with their dietary choices, as well as gaining tighter blood glucose control.
