At Macintyre Health, we are inspired by those who choose to live in Rural Queensland - the resilience, tenacity and sense of community that is inherent here. We are also inspired by the technology and innovation that has revolutionised Diabetes Management and how easily people are now able to live their day-to-day lives. Today we live at a moment where the majority of people have access to the int
ernet or mobile phones - the raw tools necessary to engage in possibilities such as Telehealth, Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous/Flash Glucose Monitoring (among others). Macintyre Health also recognises that personal relationships are fundamental to successful Chronic Disease Management and Integration of Care. Often, we find, that someone will care more about their own management when they become aware, and believe, that we deeply do as well. At Macintyre Health, we provide education tailored to each person's needs - both clinical and personal. There is no stock-standard way to manage every person with Diabetes, and a tailored approach is key to success. When you become a patient of Macintyre Health, you will know that you have a partner, an ally, someone who will respect your wishes without judgement. Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small - and it starts in Goondiwindi.

This is a common topic in conversations about type 2 diabetes - when or whether medication should be introduced.
The reality is that type 2 diabetes is different for everyone, and management plans are tailored to the individual. For many people, medication is an important part of maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and supporting long-term health.
The goal is always the same: finding the right combination of support to help people feel well and reduce the risk of complications.

Whether you're in the heart of Brisbane or hours down a dirt road - managing your diabetes shouldn't depend on where you live. 💙
At Macintyre Health, we offer telehealth services right across Australia, because everyone deserves expert diabetes care, no matter the distance.
This is a reminder that everyday health routines can also support a healthier environment 🌏
For people managing diabetes, safe sharps disposal is essential. Insulin needles, pen tips, and lancets should never go in general waste - they pose a risk to others and the environment.
Using a proper sharps container and disposing of it correctly is a simple way to protect both your community and the planet.
💚 Small actions. Real impact.

“Rage bolusing” is a commonly used term in the diabetes community to describe taking additional rapid-acting insulin out of frustration when blood glucose levels remain high.
In many cases, this is a form of emotional dosing. When emotion influences insulin decisions, it can lead to overcorrecting - causing low glucose levels rather than the intended outcome.
In this video, Kate Mundy explains what rage bolusing is, why it happens, and why it’s such a common experience for people living with diabetes.
👉 Keep an eye out for Part 2, where she’ll share practical strategies to help avoid rage bolusing and support safer blood glucose management.

Support that goes beyond the surface 🌊
At Macintyre Health, we take the time to understand the full picture - not just your symptoms, but your lifestyle, goals, and what matters most to you. Good care should feel personal, thoughtful, and built around real life.
There’s something grounding about being cared for by someone who knows this country.
Who’s driven these roads, raised kids at this school, and calls Goondiwindi home.
Our team didn’t move here for work. They stayed here because they love it, and because their community deserves good care.
That’s the heart of what we do. 🌿
