For those living with type 1 diabetes not using an insulin pump
If you’re managing your diabetes with pens and sensors, let’s see if we can make your daily routine a bit easier.
We can:
Check your numbers: We’ll dive into your glucose sensor data together to see if your current insulin regime is actually doing the heavy lifting it should be.
Sensor Audit: Is your current sensor the best fit for you? If not, we’ll explore if there’s a better option that suits your lifestyle.
Curious about Pumping? If you’ve been thinking about a pump, we can talk through the real-world advantages and challenges.
The Big Picture: We’ll give you an overview of the four insulin pumps available in Australia right now and, most importantly, walk you through the different funding options to make it happen
