Bayside Diabetes Consultancy

22/12/2024

On Friday I worked my last day as a Credentialled Diabetes Educator as I have now retired. I have been privileged to work with and support people with diabetes for 31 years. I have learnt so much from them about strength and resilience over the years.
Bayside diabetes consultancy has been in operation for more than 20 years and has a client base of 75 people with diabetes. Emma Netzer will now be the owner of this practice and the business name . I hand over my practice to the very capable hands of Emma and wish her all the very best for the future. I will enjoy watching where she takes this practice and her journey 😊🙏
Thank you to my loyal clients and all the amazing colleagues I have worked with over the years. It has been a privilege.

Without our incredible researchers, volunteers, members, donors, and staff we would not be able to continue the work we do to ensure that every person impacted by diabetes is able to live well, with confidence.

Getting in early with a Happy Birthday for Sir Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, discovered insulin in 1922.

Each year, on Banting’s birthday (14 November), we mark . An opportunity to reflect on the discovery of insulin and the millions of lives insulin has saved.

And in keeping with the global World Diabetes Day theme for 2024, an opportunity to start a conversion about well-being for a better diabetes life. Something we’ll have a bit to talk about tomorrow.

On average, a person living with diabetes will spend eight hours every year with a health professional, while managing the condition themselves for the remaining 8,752 hours of the year. That’s why peer support is so important. Find out more about joining or convening a peer support group with Diabetes Victoria. >>> https://bit.ly/48se6SE

Great to see the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system launched in Australia.

Many Australians will be familiar with the Dexcom G6 and will have heard about the availability of the G7 overseas.

We know the lag between when new technologies like this are available in other countries and when they’re available in Australia causes frustration for people living with diabetes. We will continue to advocate for changes to approval processes and funding pathways to ensure Australians can access the technology they need to live well.

The G7 is not yet subsidised via the NDSS for people living with type 1 diabetes, however we will communicate information in the future as things change.
