At Macintyre Health, we are inspired by those who choose to live in Rural Queensland - the resilience, tenacity and sense of community that is inherent here. We are also inspired by the technology and innovation that has revolutionised Diabetes Management and how easily people are now able to live their day-to-day lives. Today we live at a moment where the majority of people have access to the internet or mobile phones - the raw tools necessary to engage in possibilities such as Telehealth, Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous/Flash Glucose Monitoring (among others). Macintyre Health also recognises that personal relationships are fundamental to successful Chronic Disease Management and Integration of Care. Often, we find, that someone will care more about their own management when they become aware, and believe, that we deeply do as well. At Macintyre Health, we provide education tailored to each person's needs - both clinical and personal. There is no stock-standard way to manage every person with Diabetes, and a tailored approach is key to success. When you become a patient of Macintyre Health, you will know that you have a partner, an ally, someone who will respect your wishes without judgement. Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small - and it starts in Goondiwindi.

🧠 Myth Busting Monday: Type 1 diabetes isn’t just a childhood condition

When we think of type 1 diabetes, many of us picture a condition that only develops in childhood, but that assumption can sometimes lead to missed or delayed diagnoses in adults.

When symptoms don’t match expectations, people may not seek help straight away, or may be initially misdiagnosed. That’s why improving awareness of how type 1 diabetes can present across all ages is so important.

Challenging common myths helps support earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment, and better long-term care. 🩸🙌

Have you come across this myth before, or heard others we should cover? Let us know in the comments.

🐰 Hop on in, because Easter just got a whole lot healthier!

We know how it goes: You wake up on Easter Sunday, there is chocolate everywhere, hot cross buns on the bench, and a big family lunch on the way. If you are managing diabetes, that can feel like a lot to navigate.

Good news: our Head of Dietetics Cassandra Robertson has done the hard work for you.

The Healthy Easter Recipe eBook 2026 is here and it is completely FREE. Think baked salmon parcels, carrot cake oat cups, dark chocolate almond nests (yes really!) and more, all with carb counts per serve so you can enjoy every bite with confidence.

💙 MEET EMILEE ( on instagram)

When Emilee was first diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 10 years old, her world changed overnight. But she and her family quickly discovered they were not alone.

Another advocate in our community, Tia Bravery () reached out in those early days. Emilee’s mum, Kristie (who also manages Em's Instagram account), shares just how much that support meant. “Tia is our inspiration and our friend. Newly diagnosed Tia reached out and visited us. We will be forever grateful to her.”

That sense of connection has helped shape the way Emilee approaches life with Type 1 today. With her mum by her side, she has learned how to manage the daily challenges, while still embracing everything childhood and adventure have to offer.

Recently, Emilee and her family travelled to six countries in eight weeks. It was a huge journey, but one they took on with planning, preparation, and confidence. “Type 1 did not hold us back or stop us from going. We just prepared.”

And that is exactly how Emilee lives. She loves saying, “I have Type 1 diabetes, but Type 1 diabetes doesn’t have me.” It is more than just a quote. It is how she shows up every day.

From navigating new places to managing blood sugars on the go, Emilee is proving that life with Type 1 can still be full, joyful, and adventurous.

Every step, every flight, every new experience is proof that she is thriving, no matter what Type 1 throws her way!

Researchers in Australia are investigating whether certain cases of diabetes could help detect pancreatic cancer earlier, and you can get involved.

The PaCNOD pilot study, led by QIMR Berghofer is recruiting participants aged 55 and over who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.

Participation involves a short online survey and consenting to share relevant health information.

‼️ It's important to know that most diabetes is not caused by pancreatic cancer. This study is about understanding rare cases and building evidence for future research.

Regional, rural, and remote communities across Australia experience very different levels of access to healthcare - and those differences can have a real impact on health outcomes.

Access to healthcare in rural and remote Australia can mean longer travel times, fewer healthcare providers, and limited access to specialists. These challenges can affect everything from early diagnosis to ongoing care and chronic disease management.

Understanding the difference between regional, rural, and remote areas is an important step toward improving healthcare equity and ensuring better access to care for all Australians.

We’re still working on the Rural Inquiry Survey and will share more updates soon. 💙

When we think about blood glucose levels, food is often the first factor that comes to mind. However, diet is only part of the picture.

Factors such as stress, dehydration, and certain medications can also influence blood glucose levels and may explain unexpected changes throughout the day.

Understanding these influences can help people living with diabetes recognise patterns and make informed decisions about their care.

At Macintyre Health, we are committed to supporting people with practical education and evidence-based guidance to help manage diabetes with confidence.
