Did you know that you can get your CGM and pump supplies sent to you? This company will ship what you need and set up regular deliveries so you don’t run out. And they will charge the NDSS subsidised rate for those with Type 1 Diabetes. Great idea for those with busy lives. I saw them online but haven’t had any in person feedback so let me know if you try them out

Welcome to 2026!

Do you have any health related New Years Resolutions? Keep goals simple and measurable.

Examples might be:
A 10 minute walk once a week (great goal for someone who has been too busy to walk at all for exercise)
Take medication every day (it’s actually quite a hard goal to achieve for most)
Organise scripts and see GP for repeats before running out (also quite difficult for most)
Doing the recommended screening tests based on your age (breast screening, bowel cancer screening, Pap smears, bone density testing, etc). See your GP to discuss what you should be doing
Eat one piece of fruit daily

The Victorian Virtual ED is there to support you 24/7 for free all year round but it’s especially valuable over this Christmas/New Year break when it’s hard to see your Dr and you also may be away and far from a physical ED.

Are you unwell over this Christmas/New Year break and not sure whether to go to ED in person? Maybe you’re away and the closest ED is a long drive from your location. You can contact Victorian Virtual ED from anywhere in Victoria for free 24/7. It’s an online emergency service (video or phone) and they even have Diabetes nurses as part of their team for Diabetes related emergency support.

Don’t hesitate to use this service if you need it - www.vved.org.au

Looks like the Libre3+ is finally launching in Australia. And it will be on the NDSS. BUT it's only for users of the Ypsopump and it integrates with their software only. So, it cannot be used as a standalone CGM and it's not compatible with the Libre app.

It's great that Ypsopump users have another option for CGM but hopefully Libre 3+ can be made available for everyone.
