Had a great session with Marina in Pakenham. Her diabetes education was clear, and the blood glucose guidance she gave has helped me feel more in control. I appreciate that she spoke in plain terms and respected my Croatian background by checking in on how I’m managing at home.
Really grateful for Marina’s practical nutrition advice for diabetes management. She helped me plan meals that fit my lifestyle here in VIC, and the exercise tips were doable. I left the appointment feeling lighter and more confident.
Marina is excellent at explaining medication management support and what to monitor daily. Her personalised approach makes you feel supported. From the moment I walked into 80 John Street, I felt heard.
