Type 1 Diabetes
Do you live with Type 1? Then I see you, I hear you and I've got you. Having lived with Type 1 since 2006, and having worked with many other Type 1s, I bring to the table a unique clinical offering of expertise and understanding. Along with your knowledge of your own Diabetes, we can be the perfect team to keep you living your best life!
Whether you pen or pump, finger prick or CGM, let's get together and get you thriving in life, your way!
Type 2 Diabetes
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with Type 2 for some time I would love to hear from you. When it comes to managing Diabetes, there are no rules, let's find a way for you to be you while you thrive with Diabetes. Let's chat food, movement, mental health, sleep, family, community and whatever is important to you.
And of course as a Pharmacist I have extensive experience and expertise with medicines including insulin to give you the best advice regarding any of your Diabetes medications.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes can be a very worrying and stressful diagnosis. A collaborative approach is paramount to ensure every woman gets the care and advice she needs in pregnancy which is why I provide Diabetes Eduction in Gestational Diabetes alongside the care of an Endocrinologist and ensure you have access to the right Dietitian for you.
At an initial consultation you will have the chance to ask any questions you may have, discuss the hormonal influence of pregnancy on Diabetes and lifestyle factors that can assist and I will guide you on how to monitor your levels at home. I will also be there for you if you need to start insulin and guide you through the process, so none of the steps need to be done alone.
Continuous Glucose
Monitoring
CGM is exciting technology and an invaluable tool for people living with Diabetes. First and foremost it reduces the burden of multiple daily finger pricks in order to see glucose levels. Hooray! But the benefits are endless including alarms to alert you of a hypo before it happens so you can plan to avoid it or reduce the severity of a hypo. It can show you, in real time, the impact of your food, exercise, medication, stress and sleep so you can keep making good decisions over and over again.
Luckily I am a certified product trainer of all CGM devices in Australia. So let's chat about which product might work for you. I will also work with you to determine any pathways for subsidy.
Insulin pumps
Insulin pumps offer the possibility to revolutionise someone's life with Diabetes. With the evolution of closed loop pumps, we now have the closest thing we ever have to an artificial pancreas for those living with Type 1 and some people with Type 2 Diabetes. I provide my clients a full service from your first interest in an insulin pump, decision making, training, set up, ongoing support to building of new skills to have you confident with your pump for many years to come.
I also provide pump upgrades for those looking for a new model or sticking to something tried and true.
