It's been a little while but it's time for another MEET THE TEAM MONDAY.

Introducing our newest admin superstar, Victoria!

Victoria is an Administration Office, working along side with the admin team in the front reception area and behind the scenes training to take over Work Cover & Life Time Cases.

She loves meeting patients, getting to hear each stage of their health journeys and working as part of our amazing team of clinicians and support staff.

Victoria also wanted to share this very interesting fact about herself...
"I am born with 3 toes on my right foot and 5 on my left. I also was born with my right leg (from the knee down) 5cm shorter than my left. When I was 5, my parents were in the process of finding out if it was caused from genetics or not but it unfortunately fell through. I am still to this day invested to find out that answer. "

Not a morning person? New study has your back!

Following the exercise habits of adults with diabetes, researchers found that those hitting the track/pool/gym in the afternoon for their moderate to vigorous physical activity (translation: huffy puffy to hard to breathe exercise) had a bigger reduction in their long term blood sugar markers than those exercising at other times of the day!
Not only did the afternoon exercises increase their odds of reducing or stopping glucose-lowering medication, they were also able to sustain this improvements over 4 years later!
If you ever needed an excuse to hit snooze on these chilly mornings (with the promise that you get moving later on) this is about as good as it gets.

bMVPA performed in the afternoon is associated with improvements in glycemic control in adults with diabetes, especially within the initial 12 months of an intervention. Experimental studies are needed to examine causality.
