Dietetic support for managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes through balanced eating, carbohydrate management and healthy lifestyle changes. Dietitians can help patients understand suitable carbohydrate choices, maintain a food diary and conduct finger prick tests to understand individual responses. No referral is needed. In-person and Telehealth bookings are available. For newly diagnosed patients, around three initial sessions are usually advised, followed by annual check-ins. Patients may qualify for Medicare rebates for up to five allied health sessions under an enhanced primary care plan.
