A true story

​

Six years ago a successful and very well known business person attended GPSI Diabetes. He had

just been to see his GP and had been told that his diabetes was "not doing well". He was a busy man -

meetings to run, dinners to attend, networking a high priority. Diabetes just seemed to get in the way. He took his medication as instructed and attended doctors appointments - which seemedto be occuring with increasing frequency - but the outcome was  always the same. His diabetes "was not doing well"

​

After 4 visits with GPSI Diabetes, he has never looked back. Empowered with the skills to monitor his own diabetes and with the knowledge of how to escalate his own medical management, this gentleman has his diabetes under excellent control with no change in his busy schedule of work, meetings, and regular dinners.

Insulin pumps

 

An insulin pump mimics a normally functioning pancreas and allows it's wearer to lead a normal and flexible lifestyle. It is a small mechanical device, a little larger than a pager that is worn outside the body, often on a belt or in a pocket.

Is this is the right course of treatment for you ?

Does you qualify for a Government funded pump? 
 

While insulin pumps are the gold standard of care for type 1 diabetes, they are not necessarily suitable for everyone.

Dr Janet  has more than 20 years of experience with using insulin pumps for the management of diabetes.

Let her help you decide if this is a good management choice for you.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems

 

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS) can be used with  or without an insulin pump. They are worn 24 hours a day, automatically checking blood sugars at regular and frequent intervals and relaying the information to a monitor - or to the screen on the insulin pump. It has the benefit of being able to alarm the wearer (or parent) of high or low blood sugars.
