🧠 Find Out Your Diabetes Risk in 60 Seconds

Could you be at risk of type 2 diabetes and not know it?

We offer a simple, free tool that helps you find out — it’s called the AUSDRISK assessment, and it only takes a minute. 🕐

You don’t need a blood test to start — just answer a few questions about your:
✅ Age
✅ Family history
✅ Waist measurement
✅ Lifestyle and activity
✅ History of high blood pressure or blood sugar

If your score is high, you could be eligible for a bulk-billed health assessment and ongoing support through:
🩺 GP-led care
🥗 Dietitian or exercise referrals
🧠 Mental health or sleep support
💉 Diabetes screening and prevention

This could be your chance to catch it early, before it becomes a lifelong condition.
📍 Ask about an AUSDRISK check at your next appointment

🥦 Sick of Being Told to “Just Eat Healthy”?
Let’s talk real food — and real life.

If you’ve ever been told:

❌ "Cut out carbs"
❌ "Just lose some weight"
❌ "Don’t eat that!"
You’re not alone — and we’re here to say: it doesn’t have to be that way.

Living with (or being at risk of) type 2 diabetes isn’t about punishing diets.
It’s about understanding your body and learning what works for you.

🥗 Want meals that won’t spike your blood sugar?
🧁 Wonder why you’re craving sweets at night?
🍞 Not sure if you really need to ditch bread?

Let’s figure it out together — with support, not shame.

Our GPs can guide you through:
✅ What to eat (and still enjoy!)
✅ How to keep your energy stable all day
✅ Referrals to dietitians who actually get it
✅ Support programs that are free or Medicare-covered

📞 Call (07) 4325 4000
🌐 Book online at https://mainstreetmed.com.au

✨ Food is fuel — let’s make it work for you, not against you.

🚨 Diabetes Can Be Silent… Until It Isn’t

Diabetes doesn’t always knock loudly.

Sometimes it whispers — through small changes you hardly notice at first.

😫 You're dragging through the day
👖 You’ve lost weight without trying
🍽️ Or maybe your appetite has changed
🤯 You just don’t feel right, and can’t explain it
These might be signs of undiagnosed diabetes. And the longer it goes unnoticed, the more damage it can quietly do to your heart, kidneys, nerves, and eyes.
💉 A quick blood test can make all the difference.
This National Diabetes Week, we’re encouraging everyone to stop putting it off.
📅 Make that check-up. Even if you’re not sure you “need” it.

🩺Could You Have Diabetes and Not Know It?

💡 Feeling tired all the time? Thirsty? A bit off lately?
It might be more than just "getting older" or "being busy."
Over 500,000 Australians are living with type 2 diabetes and don’t even know it.

Why? Because the early signs can be so easy to dismiss.

🧠 Brain fog
😴 Fatigue
💦 Dry mouth or thirst
👀 Blurry vision
✋ Tingling hands or feet
💔 Just not feeling like yourself

If you’ve had any of these symptoms — even just a nagging feeling something’s not right — don’t ignore it.
A simple blood test can give you peace of mind.

❤️ A heart attack doesn’t always look like what you see in the movies…

While chest pain is a common sign, many people — especially women — experience less typical symptoms that are just as serious. 😟

🚨 Know the warning signs:

😣 Pain or discomfort in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back, or arm
😤 Shortness of breath
🤢 Nausea or vomiting
😵 Light-headedness or dizziness
🥵 Cold sweats
😴 Sudden, extreme fatigue
💔 These symptoms can come on suddenly or build up over time.

Don’t ignore them. If something feels off — trust your instincts and call 000 immediately. 🚑

🩺 If you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease, it’s time for a heart health check. 🫀

🧡 Protect your bub from RSV this pregnancy

If you’re pregnant between 28 and 36 weeks, you may be eligible for a free RSV vaccine to help protect your baby from serious illness after birth.

👶 RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) can make newborns and young children very sick — and sometimes even lead to hospitalisation.

The RSV vaccine (Abrysvo) is safe to have in late pregnancy, and it helps protect your bub for up to 6 months after they’re born.

✅ Just one needle
✅ Free for eligible patients
✅ Protects your baby during their most vulnerable early months

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy is a powerful way to keep your little one safe and healthy from the very beginning.

💬 Talk to your GP or midwife today about RSV vaccination.

🧻💙 It’s easy, free, and could save your life.

🧪 It’s a simple at-home test — no need to come into the clinic.
📬 A kit is mailed to you, and it only takes a few minutes to complete.
💡 Bowel cancer is 99% curable when detected early. But the key is catching it before symptoms appear.

If you’ve received one recently:
✅ Don’t bin it!
✅ Do the test and return it — postage is prepaid!

If you haven’t received a kit or have misplaced yours, we can help organise a replacement. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️
