Supporting You and Your Food Choices to Help with Your Diabetes
This diagram walks you through the four stages of working together with Deconstructing Diabetes as part of your dietary management of your diabetes. Each of these stages are important, but the most important step is making a start.
Our secure telehealth service brings the expertise of a diabetes dietitian to you.
Through virtual consultations, tailored strategies to meet your dietary preferences and help achieve your goals by building habits that resonate with your lifestyle. We believe that lasting lifestyle changes are made by the small, consistent choices we make every day, and creating healthy habits.
You can book online at a time that suits you via our easy booking service. You are emailed a link, and an online form to complete prior to your appointment. You will also be able to share your glucose results.
You will not have to download any programs or software for Telehealth services.
Your consultation explores your usual dietary intake and focuses on what you can do to improve your diabetes control. Goals, strategies and a plan are worked on together. Following your appointment, education resources and materials are provided, including diet journals, checklists and tools to stay on track in between appointments. Follow-up reviews help make your dietary habits and routine part of your lifestyle.
Initial Consultation - $185 - 60 minutes
Together, we will review your usual habits, lifestyle choices, food intake, eating behaviour, activity, diabetes management and blood sugar trends. We will consider your goals, any barriers and discuss the best strategy to work towards you making the best lifestyle choices.
You will be provided education materials, actionable steps, and have checklists and habit journals to integrate into your lifestyle and keep you on track with your habits.
Review Consultations - $95 - 30 minutes
Review sessions are scheduled to review your diabetes control and dietary intake, to keep you feeling supported with your goals.
The frequency of your review sessions depends on your goals and amount of support needed. Initially more frequent sessions may be needed, and become less frequent as you progress. Check-ins help reinforce positive behaviour, adjust for changed lifestyle such as medications, activity, life situation and pathology results. Before your review appointment, an online review form will help you reflect on what’s working and help prepare for your review.
We know that making longterm dietary changes can be difficult, and support is provided when you need it - to give you the confidence to help with your food choices and diabetes management.
Package Programs - $445 - Includes an Initial Consultation & 3 Review Consultations
Our experience has shown that the clients who achieve the most success with their long-term behaviour goals and healthy habits view their diabetes management as a long-term lifestyle rather than a short-term sprint. Our package programs are the best way to get the knowledge you need to get started, stay on track, and achieve lasting confidence with your diabetes management.
YOUR INVESTMENT IN YOUR HEALTH
At Deconstructing Diabetes, we require full payment on or prior to the day of service.
A Medicare rebate of $58.30 for up to five appointments per calendar year is available if your local doctor has provided a referral and a Chronic Disease Management Plan. This referral and Chronic Disease Management Plan needs to be sent to us prior to your initial consultation and needs to outline the number of Dietitian sessions required. After each appointment, and upon receipt of payment, we will process the Medicare rebate for you. Once processed, you’ll have the rebate in your account immediately.
Private health rebates are claimable for nutrition services delivered by telehealth when you have eligible extras cover. Please check with your private health provider as to the rebate you may expect from your health fund. After your appointment we provide you with an invoice that includes our provider number, so that you can easily claim directly through your private health provider.
