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 int

ernet 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.

Rolled oats - Cass never lets them run out, and here's why. 🌾

From porridge and overnight oats to muffins, smoothies and her own fridge-set granola with puffed quinoa, peanut butter and coconut flakes - oats do it all. Pair them with chia seeds, nuts or protein powder and you've got a meal that's actually filling and balanced.

Part 2 of our three-part pantry series with Cass - save this and catch the others if you missed them! ✨

If you're using the FreeStyle Libre 2 through the NDSS, we've put together a quick summary of what's changing from 1 July 2026 - and why you don't need to stress about it.

The upgrade to Libre 2 Plus happens automatically, but it's also a great opportunity to check in with your diabetes care team and make sure your current device is still the right fit for your lifestyle and goals.

In rural and remote Australia, continuity of care often lives in people, not buildings. But only 26% of people in rural and remote communities report being cared for by the same local service most of the time - and those without consistent care were more than twice as likely to end up in hospital or emergency.

This is not a paperwork problem. It's a safety problem. Our communities deserve policy that recognises the care arrangements that actually keep people well. πŸ’™
Read the latest blog from our founder via our link in bio to learn about what continuity of care really looks like in rural and remote Australia, and why policy needs to catch up.

If there's one thing Cass always has in her pantry as a diabetes dietitian, it's legumes - and honestly, once you know why, you'll never let them run out either. 🫘

We're kicking off a three-part series on the staples Cass swears by, starting with the humble chickpea, kidney bean, and beyond. These little powerhouses are high in fibre, low on the glycaemic index, and incredibly filling - which means they help keep blood sugar steady without a lot of effort.

Save this one, because parts two and three are coming and you'll want them all. ✨

The waiting room is not always a room.
Sometimes it's a lounge in the shearing quarters. Sometimes it's lying awake wondering if tomorrow will be worse. Sometimes it's just - waiting another week, because everything that getting help requires feels like too much all at once.
Laura Zimmerman writes about what that really looks like in our latest blog, alongside the findings from Submission 114. If you've ever been on that side of the system, or you love someone who has, it's worth a read.

Most people trying to manage blood glucose focus on cutting out bread and pasta and miss half the picture.
Oat milk in your coffee. A banana as a healthy snack. These all count too, and the amount of carbohydrate varies more than most people realise.

Knowing where carbs actually show up - not just the obvious ones - makes meal planning, insulin matching, and everyday food choices a lot less guesswork.

That's what our latest carousel breaks down. Swipe through if carb awareness is something you're working on. ➑️

"Don't let fear hold you back." πŸ’ͺ
Easier said than done when you're managing Type 1 diabetes and trying to stay active - but Jye ( )is living proof it's possible.

We had a chat with the legend himself about with T1D: how he uses his MiniMed 780g pump around training, why cardio and strength need totally different approaches, and his top tips for anyone starting their fitness journey with T1D.
Make sure to give Jye a follow, and read the interview on our blog!: www.macintyrehealth.com.au/five-minutes-with-jye-the-average-athlete-t1d-advocate-australia/

These are the general patterns - but how your body responds to exercise is individual, and it can vary depending on your medication, your baseline levels, and even the time of day. Start by checking your levels before and after exercise. Over time you'll build a clear picture of your own response, and exercise becomes a much less guesswork-filled part of your management.
