About the Business
DiaCare Diabetes Education is an establishment located in the serene and picturesque Samford Valley in Australia. As a healthcare institution, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive diabetes education and support to individuals of all ages and with various types of diabetes. We understand that being diagnosed with diabetes can be overwhelming, which is why our team of experienced Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDE) is here to empower you through knowledge, motivation, and support.
Our CDEs will be with you every step of the way on your diabetes journey. From your initial diagnosis, they will explain what diabetes is and provide personalized advice on how to manage your blood glucose levels effectively. They will also assist you in organizing tests and screenings for potential diabetes complications, tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
At DiaCare Diabetes, we have extensive expertise in managing diabetes for adults, adolescents, and children. Our education includes a range of topics such as blood glucose testing, insulin administration, insulin adjustment principles, sick day management, and diabetes management while traveling or at school. We also provide guidance on insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices.
For individuals with Type 2 diabetes, we offer comprehensive education and intensive management to improve patient outcomes. Our services include education on blood glucose testing, medication management, insulin administration, lifestyle advice, and goal planning for improved health outcomes. We will review your current diabetes medications, including oral and injectables, and provide advice on potential side effects and interactions.
If you are starting insulin treatment, we recommend our 'Insulin Stabilization Package' which includes weekly email or phone reviews with a Diabetes Educator to fine-tune your insulin dose and provide ongoing support. We can also assess your suitability for other injectable medications if oral medications are not effectively controlling your diabetes.
Our team has extensive experience in using all CGM devices available in the Australian market. We will guide you in choosing and applying for the most suitable CGM device, provide training on its use, and teach you how to interpret the results to improve your diabetes control.
For individuals using insulin pumps, we offer personalized care packages to support you throughout the pump start process and help you stabilize your pump settings. Our team has years of experience in insulin pumping and can provide guidance and advice on choosing the right device for your needs.
We also offer school and care facility visits upon request, providing education to teaching or care staff about diabetes care for students or patients. Our education can be tailored to the specific treatment regime of the individual or provide general training on diabetes management in the community.
Niamh, our registered nurse with almost 15 years of clinical experience, specializes in diabetes care for adults, children, and adolescents. She is dedicated to providing holistic diabetes education and care, utilizing the latest treatments and technologies. No matter your age or stage in your diabetes journey, Niamh and the DiaCare Diabetes team are here to help and support you.
Medicare rebates are available for our services, and private patients are also welcome. Speak to your GP about a referral, and we will work together to empower you to self-manage your diabetes and lead a fulfilling life.
