Diabetes Health Melbourne

Diabetes Health Melbourne is a diabetes education service based in Melbourne, Victoria, led by Catherine, a Credentialed Diabetes Educator. The service helps people understand diabetes and make informed choices about managing their health, offering support to those newly diagnosed as well as people living with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes. Education can address how food, exercise and medication affect blood glucose levels, and Catherine can help clients choose a suitable glucose meter and learn how to use it.

Appointments are available at rooms in GP practices in and around Carlton, Clifton Hill and Prahran. People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, as well as friends and family seeking guidance, can enquire by phone, email or the website’s contact form. Eligible clients with a GP referral and Chronic Disease Management Plan may be able to claim a Medicare rebate for diabetes education. The service also provides information about the National Diabetes Services Scheme, including subsidised testing strips and access to free needles and syringes for insulin users.
