Diabetes Treatment
Managing diabetes doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. You can rely on our caring and qualified Australian telehealth doctors to help treat high blood sugar or manage diabetes type 1, diabetes type 2, or gestational diabetes during pregnancy. With secure online consultations, prescriptions, and ongoing care, help is always within reach.
Is Diabetes Disrupting Your Daily Life?
Diabetes isn’t just about numbers on a glucose monitor. It is all about the influence these numbers have on your energy, concentration and calmness. You may have experienced warning signs about the presence of higher levels of glucose in the blood, i.e. excessive thirst, fatigue, or blurred vision. Or maybe you have prediabetes and you are unsure that lifestyle changes are sufficient.
That is why Doctor Help is committed to ensuring that there is a clear understanding, reassurance and a plan that you can rely on behind every question. Our online consultations make it easy to connect with qualified Australian doctors for diabetes treatment and management, without the wait and without judgment.
Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic illness in which the body is unable to adequately control the blood glucose levels, causing constant elevated levels of glucose in the blood. If not managed, it may increase the risk of heart disease, kidney diseases, vision and nerve deterioration. Timely diagnosis, regular HbA1c management, and early treatment significantly reduce complications.

Frequently asked questions
What are the symptoms of elevated blood sugar that I should watch out for?
General symptoms of elevated blood sugar involve too much thirst, too much urination, lack of energy, and blurred eyesight. When left unattended, symptoms of high blood sugar may intensify and may require emergency treatment.
How do you diagnose diabetes?
During a telehealth consultation, our online doctors will take a detailed history of your symptoms, risk factors, and any prior test results. They can prescribe testing like blood sugar tests when fasting, HbA1c, and glucose tolerance tests. These help determine whether you have prediabetes or diabetes.
Can I manage diabetes through telehealth?
Yes. Online diabetes management includes consultations, prescriptions, and monitoring advice. You can also get blood pressure prescriptions online if you’re managing related conditions.
What is normal blood sugar by age?
Normal blood sugar levels don’t usually vary by age but can be affected by health conditions. Your doctor can explain what is normal for your specific situation.
What level of low blood pressure is considered dangerous in a person with diabetes?
Blood pressure management is essential in people with diabetes due to increased cardiovascular risk. Low blood pressure causing dizziness or fainting should be assessed promptly by a doctor.
Can you provide online hypertension treatment if I have both high blood pressure and diabetes?
Yes, as these two cases are commonly combined our doctors can deliver combined care of diabetes and hypertension. Blood pressure control is crucial in diabetes due to increased cardiovascular risk.
What are the gestational diabetes symptoms?
The gestational diabetes during pregnancy may not exhibit any noticeable symptoms. That’s why screening for gestational diabetes is routinely performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy as part of standard antenatal care, to identify and manage this condition early.
What is hypoglycaemia and how do I manage it?
Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, is a state that occurs when the level of sugar in the blood becomes low, usually as a result of medication or missed meals. Symptoms include sweating, shakiness, confusion; severe cases require prompt treatment including glucagon emergency kits.
Do I need to see an endocrinologist?
Many patients manage well with GP-led telehealth care. However, if your condition is complex, a referral to an endocrinologist may be recommended.
Can lifestyle changes help with diabetes management?
Yes. Approaches such as the diet, weight management, and regular exercise can significantly improve outcomes when combined with medical treatment.
