Diabetes happens when your body does not manage sugar properly. This leads to high blood sugar, which can cause long-term problems if not controlled. There are two main types:
Proper diabetes management means keeping your blood sugar at healthy levels, watching your diet, staying active, and taking medications if needed. With the right care and support, you will be able to live a more sustainable and manageable life.
Every person’s diabetes is different from one another. That’s why our GPs and nurses work hard to understand you, including your daily habits, what you eat, your job, and your health goals. From there, we will create a plan that works for your lifestyle and condition.

A planned review of your health history, medicines, blood pressure/weight, blood tests (e.g., HbA1c), foot checks, and referrals (dietitian, podiatry, eye checks) with follow-ups to keep you on track.
Most people are reviewed every 3 months; if your levels are stable, every 6 months may be appropriate—your GP will individualise this.
Targets are individualised. A common goal for many adults is ≤7% (53 mmol/mol), adjusted for your age, risks and preferences.
From 1 July 2025, GP Management Plans/Team Care Arrangements were replaced by a single GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP). You can still be referred for up to 5 individual allied health visits per calendar year (10 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) and, if you have type 2 diabetes and are suitable, up to 8 group services each year.
The NDSS supports people living with diabetes through education and subsidised products (e.g., strips; some CGM/Flash devices for eligible groups). Speak with your GP/diabetes educator to register and access benefits.
As at 2025, all people with type 1 diabetes are eligible to apply for subsidised CGM via the NDSS. Subsidised access is not generally available for type 2 diabetes at this time.
Your GP will plan an “annual cycle of care”, typically including HbA1c, kidney tests (eGFR/urine ACR), blood pressure, lipids, foot assessment, and regular eye screening. Frequency depends on your results and risk.
Influenza vaccination every year is recommended, with funded access for medical-risk groups; pneumococcal vaccination is also recommended for adults with risk conditions such as diabetes (schedule depends on age/risk—your GP will advise).
Yes—history reviews and care-plan updates can often be done by video/phone. You’ll still need in-person visits for physical checks, blood tests and foot exams.
Your blood glucose log/device/app, medication list, any recent pathology or specialist letters, and questions you want to discuss. (If NDSS forms are needed, bring those too.)
Book a prompt review. Your GP may adjust medicines, diet/exercise plans, or refer you to a credentialled diabetes educator. Seek urgent care if you have severe hypoglycaemia, chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of dehydration/ketosis.
Medicare supports GP care-plan services under the 2025 GPCCMP items; gap fees vary by clinic. Ask reception when booking.
