National Diabetes Week, 9th – 15th July, provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of effective diabetes management. In support of National Diabetes Week, the Australian Digital Health Agency has created an engaging video.
HbA1c tests play a vital role in diabetes diagnosis and managemen. Unlike traditional diabetes tests that only offer a snapshot of glucose levels, HbA1c tests provide a more comprehensive view, enabling better treatment decisions and disease monitoring.These results are now immediately available as soon as uploaded. Previously there was a seven-day waiting period.
The newly launched video showcases the real-life story of Steve Renouf and his family. Steve, a Rugby League legend and proud Gunggari and Gubbi Gubbi man, is a passionate advocate for diabetes management. Watch the video and learn more about the benefits of immediate access to HbA1c test results.
In addition to diabetes test results (HbA1c), pathology reports for blood clot monitoring (INR test), COVID-19 tests, and respiratory infection tests are also available as soon as they are uploaded. To view service providers uploading to My Health Record visit: www.digitalhealth.gov.au
