This is a reminder that everyday health routines can also support a healthier environment 🌏

For people managing diabetes, safe sharps disposal is essential. Insulin needles, pen tips, and lancets should never go in general waste - they pose a risk to others and the environment.

Using a proper sharps container and disposing of it correctly is a simple way to protect both your community and the planet.

💚 Small actions. Real impact.

“Rage bolusing” is a commonly used term in the diabetes community to describe taking additional rapid-acting insulin out of frustration when blood glucose levels remain high.

In many cases, this is a form of emotional dosing. When emotion influences insulin decisions, it can lead to overcorrecting - causing low glucose levels rather than the intended outcome.

In this video, Kate Mundy explains what rage bolusing is, why it happens, and why it’s such a common experience for people living with diabetes.

👉 Keep an eye out for Part 2, where she’ll share practical strategies to help avoid rage bolusing and support safer blood glucose management.

There’s something grounding about being cared for by someone who knows this country.

Who’s driven these roads, raised kids at this school, and calls Goondiwindi home.

Our team didn’t move here for work. They stayed here because they love it, and because their community deserves good care.

That’s the heart of what we do. 🌿

This World Health Day, we’re proud to stand with science.

At Macintyre Health, our approach is built on more than just clinical care - it’s grounded in research, education, and a commitment to evidence-based practice.

Our team brings experience across diabetes education, endocrinology, rural and remote health, and emerging diabetes technologies. Many of our clinicians have contributed to national training programs and continue to stay at the forefront of research and best practice.

What does that mean for you?

✔ Care that’s informed by the latest evidence
✔ Support that’s personalised to your life
✔ A team that works collaboratively to get the best outcomes

For us, science isn’t just a theme for one day - it’s how we care, every day!

Have you taken a moment to breathe today?

This Monday, we’re keeping it simple with a guided breathing exercise.

Living with diabetes means constantly balancing both physical and mental demands. From managing blood glucose levels to making daily health decisions, it can be a lot to deal with.

What’s often overlooked is how closely mental and physical health are connected. Stress and overwhelm can directly affect blood sugar levels, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Even a few mindful minutes can make a difference.

If you can, take this as your reminder to get outside today, breathe deeply, and give your body and mind the reset they deserve 🌿

Ageing well looks different for everyone. But at its heart, it means staying in the place you love, surrounded by people who know you and receiving care that is thoughtful, consistent and built around you. That is exactly what Wattle and River Home Health are here to provide.

We are proud to now be welcoming new privately funded clients in the Goondiwindi region.

We take the time to understand what truly matters to each person and their family, and we show up, reliably and respectfully, every single time.

If you or someone you love is thinking about what quality care at home could look like, we would be glad to have that conversation.

Reach out to our team today.

We hope you’re enjoying the long weekend - whether that’s time with loved ones, rest, or simply taking things at your own pace.

Just a reminder that our clinic is closed over the Easter long weekend.

Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy Easter! 😘
