Wattletree Health Group offers specialist diabetic care at home, delivered by experienced AHPRA-registered nurses — including a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE), a qualification held by only a small number of home nursing services in Melbourne. Whether you need help with insulin management, blood glucose monitoring, or preventing complications like diabetic foot ulcers, our experienced team brings expert clinical care directly to your home. No waitlists.

Why Choose Our Diabetic Care Services?

Credentialled Diabetes Educator on the team. Our CDE provides specialist diabetes education and management that goes beyond standard nursing care — helping you understand your condition and take control of it.
No waitlists. Access experienced clinical care quickly, without the delays of hospital outpatient clinics or GP referral pathways.
AHPRA-registered nurses — not support workers. Diabetes management including insulin administration, blood glucose monitoring, and wound care requires an experienced registered nurse with genuine clinical skills.
Comprehensive, personalised care plans. We develop care plans that address all aspects of diabetes management, tailored to your specific condition, medications, and lifestyle.
24/7 availability. Our nurses are available around the clock for urgent diabetic care needs, including hypoglycaemic events.

Our Diabetic Care Services Include

Blood Glucose Monitoring. Accurate tracking and interpretation of blood sugar levels to help manage your diabetes effectively and adjust treatment as needed.
Insulin Administration and Pump Management. Professional assistance with insulin injections, pen device education, and insulin pump management — ensuring safe and accurate dosing.
Diabetes Education. Practical education from our Credentialled Diabetes Educator on medication management, dietary principles, hypoglycaemia recognition and management, and long-term complication prevention.
Diabetic Foot and Wound Care. Expert assessment and care to prevent and treat diabetic foot complications, including ulcers, infections, and neuropathic wounds.
