Specialist Diabetes Care & Education
Complete Diabetes assessment, diagnosis and management across Far Northern Queensland.
Managing diabetes can be challenging—but you don’t have to do it alone.
As both a Credentialed Diabetes Educator and Nurse Practitioner, I can provide immediate, personalised, evidence-based care. This means you receive not just diabetes-specific expertise, but also comprehensive health assessment, medication management, and ongoing support tailored to your needs. For you, this means:
Deeper Expertise:
Diabetes Educators specialise in the latest treatments, technologies, and lifestyle strategies for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Whole-Person Care:
As a Nurse Practitioner, I can assess your overall health, prescribe medications, order tests, and adjust treatment plans on the spot—without the delays of multiple referrals.
Continuity & Convenience:
One trusted clinician who understands your diabetes in the context of your whole health.
SERVICES
Who I work with and how I can help you.
Every day, I work with people recently diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes; individuals needing help fine-tuning insulin, medication, or technology; those wanting to prevent or manage complications; and families seeking education and support.
Newly Diagnosed with Diabetes
When you’re newly diagnosed, it can feel overwhelming. I’ll take the time to explain what your diagnosis means and help you understand the type of diabetes you have, so you feel informed and confident about your next steps.
Commencing Insulin
Starting insulin is a big change — but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I’ll show you how to safely give your injections and guide you through the day-to-day aspects of living well on insulin.
Changing Treatments
Your diabetes management should fit into your life, not disrupt it. I’ll work with you to explore your options and find a treatment plan that supports both your health and your lifestyle.
Planning Pregnancy
If you’re preparing for pregnancy, I’ll help you individualise your care and create a plan that protects your health and supports your baby’s development — giving you peace of mind at every stage.
Gestational Diabetes
Ingrid can help you manage all aspects of your gestational diabetes, in conjunction with your Endocrinologist.
Annual Reviews
Staying on track makes all the difference. I’ll review your progress, encourage you with your healthy lifestyle goals, and make sure you’re keeping up with the annual checks that protect your long-term health.
NDIS Services
If you’re an NDIS participant, I can provide tailored education and support for you and your support workers, so you feel empowered to manage your diabetes every day.
