Diabetic Care — Ellen Health

Blood Sugar is just One Part of the Picture

We offer individualised care plans for all chronic diseases. Chronic Disease Care plans are a feature of quality general practice, where your doctor prepares a careful review of your health needs, and together you set goals and action plans to optimise your health and quality of life. Care plans may assist you in accessing medicare benefits to reduce the cost of allied health visits.

Your doctor may arrange specialised team care arrangements, and liaise with your other health providers, where appropriate.

Medication reviews with your pharmacist may be recommended.

You will be invited to participate in regular care plan reviews.

There are special programs for patients with asthma and diabetes.

To prevent the complications of diabetes, it is important to monitor and control cholesterol, blood pressure and kidney health as well as glucose levels and body weight.
We work together with our nurse practitioner, dieticians, specialists and exercise physiologists to help you manage your diabetes.
