This is a worry.
People can’t get into the public health clinics and now they won’t be able to afford the private practice NPs who have been filling the gap.

Consistency.

That’s what makes a difference in diabetes care.

Not a campaign. Not a week. Not a hashtag.

At MyDiabetes, diabetes week is every week.

Because diabetes doesn’t switch off. It’s there at 2am. It’s there when you’re tired. When you’re done. When you wish it wasn’t.

We don’t run flashy platforms.
We are a support platform.

We don’t tell you how it is.
We listen to how it is.

We don’t capitalise on your challenges, your culture, or your diversity.
We just walk beside you, quietly, respectfully, and with purpose.

We BulkBill most of the time, because access matters.

And while others might spotlight the big moments, we hold space for the everyday ones.

Because that’s where diabetes lives, in the background, in the in-between.
And that’s where you’ll find us, too.

Still here. Still showing up.
Nearly two decades in.

Nurses caring for people with diabetes
Cygnet Family Practice have received funding to develop a nurse led diabetes clinic. Nurse Practitioner Samantha Beattie
is leading the nursing team to improve systems which make sure the detailed care needed to prevent complications of
the disease is completed. People who attend our practice and who have diabetes, will soon be sent an invitation to join the project.

Proud and glamorously living with diabetes 💙

This Queen’s not just bringing the glam—she’s owning it.

Because when you sparkle on the outside and inside, it’s a whole vibe…
