The National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) estimates that approximately half a million Australians may be living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Early detection of this chronic condition can help prevent serious and otherwise silent progression of nerve, kidney, and eye damage.

Beyond the ability to regularly monitor sugar levels, awareness of diabetes may provide an incentive for making healthier day-to-day choices.

Choosing low-sugar foods, increasing physical activity, portioning meals and reducing alcohol intake can all help buffer against diabetes-related complications.

The doctors of Affinity Family Medical can assist in managing diabetes and coordinate healthcare to meet your well-being needs.

Appointments are available through the website or our friendly reception staff by calling (07) 4804 5680.

Dr Mieko and Dr Justin are currently accepting new patients and, as part of their primary healthcare services, offer general health checks.

Rather than relying on luck, our future health may benefit from these health checks to assess and enhance our well-being now.

A deeper appreciation of individual health needs may provide the opportunity to address conditions such as hypertension, obesity and high blood cholesterol.

Awareness of these and other medical needs allows us to plan for the future and make adjustments, potentially avoiding or delaying the onset of chronic conditions.

During a health assessment, your doctor can discuss your family medical history, current lifestyle choices and, as required, arrange various tests.

Although Affinity Family Medical is a private billing medical practice, eligibility may apply for Government-funded health assessments, such as a one-off check for 45–49 year-olds or an annual check for those 75 and over.

Appointments are available through the website or with our friendly reception staff by calling (07) 4804 5680.

Shortness of breath during normal daily activities is easily mistaken for a lack of fitness.

Along with a chronic cough, wheezing or low energy levels, it’s a common symptom of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

A lesser-known lung disease, COPD affects one in thirteen Australians over 40, with emphysema and chronic bronchitis among the most common conditions.

Unlike asthma, which tends to be more easily controlled, COPD worsens over time.

Early identification of COPD offers an opportunity to slow its progression and treat the symptoms to optimise quality of life.

Affinity Family Medical can assist with diagnosis and, where appropriate, inhalers or medication to control symptoms of COPD.

As with asthma, your doctor may also create an annual COPD action plan to help identify when symptoms change and the action to take.

Appointments are available online through the website or with our friendly reception staff by calling (07) 4804 5680.

Whether relaxing at home or travelling over the end-of-year holidays, it’s wise to arrange prescriptions with your doctor well ahead of time - especially as Santa cannot pop them in your Christmas socks!

Should you require prescriptions or a follow-up appointment before the New Year, please call Affinity Family Medical as soon as possible.

The practice will close from midday on Wednesday, 24th of December, for the Christmas and New Year period and will reopen at 8:00 am on Monday, 5th of January.

Appointments are available through the website or with our friendly reception staff by calling (07) 4804 5680.

Consistently including the recommended five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit per day in children's meals is no easy task.

Smoothies are an opportunity to offer kids vegetables outside of mealtime, especially dinner, where they may struggle.

Zucchini, spinach and cauliflower are perfect candidates for healthy padding in fruit smoothies as they are virtually tasteless.

A quarter of a cup of zucchini or cauliflower is loaded with fibre, potassium and vitamin C and will not alter the flavour of their favourite ingredients.

Spinach, on the other hand, will turn drinks green, but a variety of vitamins and minerals, plus high fibre, make it worthwhile to try.

Other uncooked ingredients may require a more powerful food processor for blending, such as fibre-rich sweet potato with bananas or a piece of beetroot to balance the sweetness of a berry smoothie.

Beyond adding a creamy texture, avocado has a potential bonus of providing healthy fats for sustenance during after-school activities and a high potassium content to support muscle function and fluid balance.

The doctors at Affinity Family Medical can complement these efforts by providing health checks and discussing diet changes in the context of your current medical needs and well-being goals.

Appointments are available through the website or through our friendly reception staff by calling (07) 4804 5680.

The aim of Affinity Family Medical has always been to deliver safe, high-quality primary health care to the Whitsundays.

The Government has recently increased bulk billing incentives, but these payments still don’t cover the full cost of providing high-quality care at this practice.

To continue offering you the time, attention, and services you deserve, we charge a fee for most consultations.

Our friendly reception staff can provide more details, including information about fees and rebates.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has also provided this FAQ regarding changes to Medicare:

From pink hair, to pink sports clubs and workplaces and activities such as walking, running, or swimming, pink heroes are fundraising for Breast Cancer Awareness month here:

https://fundraise.nbcf.org.au/pink-hero

All funds raised with the National Breast Cancer Foundation go toward a broad spectrum of research that ultimately aims to save lives.

This month is also an opportunity to highlight prevention through a regular self-checking routine to look for these signs :

- new lump or lumpiness, especially if only in one breast

- change in the size or shape of your breast

- change to the ni**le, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion

- ni**le discharge that occurs without squeezing

- change in the skin of your breasts, such as redness or dimpling

- unusual pain that persists

Even though the above signs are not necessarily indicators of breast cancer, they may prompt further investigation through a triple test, which combines clinical examination, breast imaging and nonsurgical biopsy.

This three-fold test aims to optimise an accurate diagnosis and determine a path when there are inconsistencies, or where all three parts of the triple test are not definitely benign.
