Learn from Two Professionals with over 35 years of Combined Experience
I’ve been working in Diabetes Education for over 25 years and I’m passionate about making diabetes easy to understand and manage. Being a visual learner, I love developing content that’s simple and visual for others to learn and retain information more easily and quickly. Really, who has time to read pages of words and it could all be said in a colourful visual?
I’ve been involved in setting up a hospital diabetes service, educating nurses through conferences, and onsite in Aged Care Facilities, developing resources to simplify learning, and for the past 15 years I’ve been working in private practice.
Due to the increasing number of people developing type 2 diabetes, especially after years of pre-diabetes, and the lack of education and resources available to many of them, I’ve seen too many people with diabetes developing complications. This has been generally due to them not knowing the questions to ask their doctor or health professionals, or having the skills and knowledge to effectively manage their condition. With Driving Diabetes we aim to change this for as many people as possible.
I’ve had extensive experience in diabetes prevention and management, with a particular focus on healthy eating and lifestyle change, implemented clinically in private, community and remote sectors. I’ve seen that regardless of where people live, their financial circumstances, their educational level or culture, too many are not receiving the essential information on how to manage their diabetes in a way that they understand and is achievable for them.
I’m a passionate advocate for reducing or eliminating these barriers to ensure everyone has the information and skills to self-manage their condition and have the opportunity to dramatically reduce the risks of preventable diabetes complications.
Inspired to find creative ways to address this need, I’ve been instrumental in creating and managing new models for best practice diabetes education both face to face and on-line.
