In type 1 diabetes, symptoms are often sudden and can be life-threatening so it is usually diagnosed within hours or days.

In type 2 diabetes, many people have no symptoms at all, while other signs can go unnoticed being seen as part of ‘getting older’. By the time symptoms are noticed, complications of diabetes may already be present.

Common symptoms can include:

Being more thirsty than usual
Passing more urine
Feeling tired and lethargic
Always feeling hungry
Having cuts that heal slowly
Itching, skin infections
Urinary tract or fungal infections
Blurred vision
Unexplained weight loss (type 1 or type 2 diabetes)
Gradually putting on weight (type 2 diabetes)
Mood swings
Headaches
Feeling dizzy
Leg cramps

Note: This information is of a general nature only and should not be substituted for medical advice or used to alter medical therapy. It does not replace consultations with qualified healthcare professionals to meet your individual medical needs.

You are encouraged to visit your GP if you suspect you might be experiencing symptoms of diabetes.

It's easier to have difficult conversations with someone you know (and someone who knows you)!

29/09/2026

Face-to-face consults are the gold standard, as sometimes tummy's need to be prodded, temperatures taken and urine needs dip-sticking (if you'll excuse my version of the medical jargon)! However, for simple or ongoing issues that don't require that physical component..... phone or video consults are available. These can be booked ahead (online or via AMS Connect app) or you can phone reception on a weekend and arrange a same day phone consult.

We encourage you to choose a 'regular' GP for the sake of your health and your satisfaction. It is easier to have those difficult conversations with a doctor that you 'know'. A doctor who knows your baseline health can spot subtle changes, unusual symptoms, or new behavioural issues much faster than a stranger. You are more likely to stay up to date with preventative care, blood tests, vaccinations and things that need monitoring if you have a regular GP.
That's what we mean by "Continuity of Care".
Having a second favourite GP is also useful as your 'go to' when your regular GP is not available.

We are here to help you on the Grand Final Public Holiday from 8am - 12 noon.

🤧 A quick reminder about Self Check-In

Like many workplaces at this time of year, we have a few team members away this week with coughs and colds.
Our reception team is here to help, but you may notice a longer queue than usual at busy times.
If there’s a queue when you arrive for your appointment, look for the Self Check-In kiosk on the wall in the waiting area. You can use it to quickly let us know you’ve arrived, without needing to wait at the reception desk.
Of course, you’re always welcome to see our reception team if you need assistance.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while some of our team recover. 💙

Today happens to be RUOK day.... but it's a valid question every day!
The people in your world won’t always tell you if something’s troubling them, so it’s important that you make asking , ‘are you OK?’ a part of your everyday relationships with friends, family, team mates and colleagues.
Pick your moment – choose a time when you have time for a meaningful chat and somewhere relatively private. Some people find it easier to open up when they are side-by-side with you (e.g., walking together or in the car) rather than face-to-face.
It’s so helpful to know that someone cared enough to ASK, and for some one to offer “I’m here to listen if you want to talk”. You don't have to solve anything... just listening lets people know that they are cared about.
