Diabetes Management
Diabetes Mellitus is a common condition that can affect individuals from early childhood, adolescence and all the way through adult life. Our doctors take a particular interest in the diagnosis, assessment & management of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition in which excellent blood glucose control and paying close attention to treating other risk factors can significantly reduce the risk of long term complications.
With the growing obesity rate in Australia, we now have more cases of diabetes as a result. Your eating habits could put you at risk of diabetes. Our staff understands diabetes and can teach you how the food you eat changes your blood glucose level, and how to coordinate your diabetes medications and eating for optimal health.
CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
We provide and manage conditions appropriately and coordinate well with other health providers in an effective way in order to improve the quality of life. We do this through GP management plans and can advice if our patients need one.
Asthma Management & Education
Asthma is a treatable health condition.Our aim is to help you prevent severe asthma and prevent exacerbations. Although at present there is no cure, with good management people with asthma can lead normal, active lives.
The key to living with asthma is keeping it under control. This means learning about what causes your symptoms, how to avoid these triggers and how to use your medications correctly.
It is important that you see your doctor for regular check-ups so that he/she can work with you to monitor and control your asthma. Together with your doctor, you can fill in your personal written Asthma Action Plan that will help you monitor and manage your asthma.
People who follow their plans are likely to have better controlled asthma, fewer asthma attacks and fewer days off work or school because of their asthma.
Don’t let asthma get in the way of your everyday life.
