Who is Diabetes Education For?

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s diabetes education service is provided by registered nurses and is for those over the age of 18 years with:

  • Pre-diabetes
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Type 2 diabetes

Diabetes education can help people manage their diabetes.  Our diabetes educator can provide one-on-one support to people adapting to life with diabetes, by explaining what it is and how to manage it.

Don’t Sugar Coat Diabetes

We also offer an 8-week exercise and education group program called Don’t Sugar Coat Diabetes.  The one-hour education sessions are hosted by a
different health professional each week.  As well as our diabetes educator, you will hear from other health professionals:

We then spend the next hour in the gym where you will be guided through a personalised exercise plan drawn up by our exercise physiologist.   Contact us to find out when the next group program is starting.

Cost

Give us a call to talk about the cost.  This will depend on your income, if you have a concession card or if you use this service through funding such as a Home Care Package or the NDIS.
