The new Medtronic G4 sensor is available on NDSS for our patients using the Medtronic 780G pump.
You will need to contact your Diabetes Educator and provide your NDSS number and your address.
A starter kit ( new transmitter and a box of sensors) will be sent to the address you nominate).
If you are one of our patients please contact Renata on renata@forbeshealthcare.com.au and provide your NDSS number and address.

Points to note: - sensors are the same, transmitter looks the same but uses a G4 technology ( no calibration needed).
- you will need to unpair the old transmitter and pair the new one on your pump. ( if you find you will need help we can organize a face to face appointment, just let Renata know).
- NDSS does not accept PO Box address for delivery.

Do not hesitate to contact us.

Today is World Diabetes Day 2020!

12/08/2020

I have been seeing so many patients lately that are so frustrated and upset regarding the expectation of some health professionals.
It is very easy to tell a parent of a child with Diabetes or an adult with Diabetes what the blood glucose levels should be. Everyone knows where it should be by the book! That perfect number !!!!!
The problem is THERE IS NO PERFECT with Diabetes. We wish there was a rule for all. One way of treating it. But there is NOT.
Next time you see someone who thinks “by the book” you show them how many factors affect your blood glucose levels. Life ... living.. affects bgls!
To all children, adults and parents who deal with this 🤬condition everyday ...you are AMAZING!! Don’t feel like you are not doing enough. As Dory (from Nemo)says... keep swimming... find support if needed, try your best everyday ... be proud! ❤️

Let's be honest, this year has been rougher than most.

It’s been especially tough for many people living with all types of diabetes.

According to our research, more than 50% of people living with diabetes have experienced mental health challenges in the last year.

The mental and emotional health challenges of diabetes are just as real as physical complications like eye, foot and kidney issues.

Diabetes Australia
・・・
Every minute of every day, a person with diabetes will face decisions, thoughts, worries and fears about their diabetes management, and the future impact diabetes may have on their health.

The daily burden of living with diabetes can be significant. It’s estimated that people with diabetes face up to 180 diabetes-related decisions every day. That’s more than 65,000 extra decisions a year.

Diabetes is relentless. Diabetes distress, anxiety and burnout are real complications of diabetes.
This National Diabetes Week, Diabetes Australia is launching Heads Up on Diabetes - a new campaign focusing on the mental and emotional health impact of living with diabetes.

National Diabetes Week provides us with an opportunity to have an important community conversation about the real impact diabetes can have on a person’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

This is a conversation we need to have.
