Getting started

1. Referral

Refer yourself, or ask your health team to refer you. Anyone can refer — you don’t need a GP referral. Fill in our appointment request form, or ask your GP, nurse or specialist to email us at referral@aotearoadiabetescollective.org.nz.

2. Initial appointment

Book your initial appointment. Everyone new to our clinic starts with a comprehensive 60-minute initial appointment ($229). In many cases we order blood tests and contact your usual healthcare team beforehand. We’ll also send you a short form to help us prepare and get the most out of your appointment.

Starting an insulin pump? Our insulin pump start ($2,149) includes your initial appointment.

3. Ongoing care plan

Choose the ongoing care that fits you. At the end of your initial appointment, we’ll make a follow-up plan together that suits you best. There’s no pressure to continue. If one appointment is all you need, we’ll send a clear summary and recommendations to you and your health team.

If you’d like to keep seeing our team:

  • 60-minute follow-up appointment: $199

  • 30-minute follow-up appointment: $149

  • Diabetes care subscription: $25 per week, for existing clients when clinically appropriate. Includes four follow-up appointments a year, support between appointments, repeat diabetes prescriptions at no extra cost, and urgent phone support 7 days a week.

4. Working as a team

We work in partnership with your health team. You can see us once for a specialist assessment and a clear plan for your GP to continue, or you can stay with us for ongoing care while we keep your GP informed with clinical letters at every step.

If you're under a hospital diabetes clinic, you can see us as well; many people use us for nursing, dietitian and technology support and continue to see their usual hospital service. Staying engaged with your GP is a must. We're a specialist diabetes service, not a general practice, and if we're ever concerned about another aspect of your health, we'll contact your care team.

Sweet As! The Diabetes Podcast

New episodes every fortnight!

We have recently launched our podcast for people with diabetes and those supporting them. The goal is to share real stories and challenge stigma and misinformation by providing evidence based education. We encourage everyone to have a listen whether you have diabetes, know someone with diabetes or work with people with diabetes.
