Jo replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Hi Dave,
I live in Perth and am Type 1 also. I have lived in New Zealand, Wales and Australia. I would advice you to bring a letter from your current GP (and/or specialist) stating your current med's, etc and what ever else he thinks you need,…"
davet replied to Domo!'s discussion 'pump and exercise'"I adjust my levels similarly to TS - I generally do running and cycling. Under 1 hour exercise I don't adjust my levels at all, 1-2 hour duration I would drop it to ~75%, 2+ hours I would drop it to ~50%. Or course I am also refueling for…"
davet replied to Dan's discussion 'New Medtronic CGMS - iPro2'"I have no trouble with my MM CGM either. It's normally spot on when I enter a calibration. I do make sure that I only enter a calibration number if my BG is close to normal range though - when I used to calibrate it when I was significantly…"
davet replied to shelly wichman's discussion 'Would love to move to Australia and need information' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"I'm just about to move to Australia (next week) and one person helpfully sent me the link to the medicare site - you might want to read this page to get a better idea what you are eligible for"
Susi (Ladalife) replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Davet, I'm pretty sure that your Aviva is our Nano, which uses the Performa strips. A call to Accu-Check will confirm that your meter is compatible.
We used to have Bayer, but I'm not sure what happened.
Good luck!"
davet replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Thanks,
I had looked at the form but they seem to have different names in different countries - the Nano strips are just called Aviva here, not Performa so I couldn't match it up on the form.
Thanks for the information."
Susi (Ladalife) replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Go HERE and download the NDSS Order Form where you can see what test strips are available.
I use the Nano which uses Performa strips, so that's definitely available."
davet replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"I also have another question if you can indulge me. I currently use a Bayer Contour meter as my primary meter but I am not sure if test strips are available for that meter in Australia.
My backup meters are the Accu-check Aviva Nano and the One…"
davet replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Hi,
Thanks for the replies so far. We are looking at staying around the lower North Shore area, so the clinic at Royal North Shore Hospital sounds ideal.
Re Dr Martin Sulway, this article from last year says that he has no plans to retire so I…"
Tracey replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Hi Dave
Do you know what part of Sydney you will live in? I lived on the North Shore and visited the Diabetic clinic at the Royal North Shore Hospital which is in St Leonards not far from North Sydney and had my own endocronologist his name is Dr…"
Susi (Ladalife) replied to davet's discussion 'Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?' in the group Diabetes in Australia, New Zealand"Depending on where you're moving to, your best bet is to call or email the local Diabetes Association - Diabetes Australia, or Diabetes NSW (if you're moving to NSW).
Our medical system isn't quite the same as yours. If you are from…"

Moving to Australia, what do I need to know/do?
Hi,I'm a Type 1 pumper currently living in the UK. I will be moving to Sydney in June for an expected couple of years deployment and need to find out how I am going to manage my diabetes when I am there.I do have medical insurance so the costs should be covered, but I have no idea about the process of getting insulin and supplies, do I need to register with a doctor etc. My current diabetes team I see maybe once a year (which is how I like it) and I only see my GP to get a prescription for…See More
