IDEAS aims to support people with diabetes to manage their general health and prevent diabetes complications. The program is a collaboration with Eastern Health Endocrinology department.
We know that a team approach to managing diabetes means better health outcomes for all. The IDEAS team is made up of:
- An endocrinologist – a doctor specialising in diabetes care.
- A diabetes nurse educator and podiatrist – providing assessment and supporting clients in self-care, in order to best manage their diabetes.
