Our Approach
Your care plan is built around you – your lifestyle, goals, technology choices, questions and unique health needs
Whether you're in our clinic or joining via video call from home, we ensure you receive seamless high quality care. Irene’s telehealth option makes it easier for you to access quality care, regardless of distance or work commitments
Early support makes a difference and I am committed to getting you started quickly. New patients diagnosed with Type 1, Type 2 or gestational diabetes are typically seen within 7-10 days
Living with diabetes is about more than just managing your blood glucose and insulin levels. I strive to help you live well and stress free and provide support across a whole range of areas including diet, exercise, medication, technology, device management, self-monitoring, emotional support and education for yourself, your carers and loved ones.
You don’t have to navigate diabetes alone. Let Irene’s expertise and compassionate guidance help you achieve your health goals.
