Meet the Waikato Primary Care Diabetes Team
The Pan-PHO primary care diabetes team (Pinnacle, Hauraki PHO and National Hauora Coalition) is running a Q&A style evening event for all Eastern Waikato providers.
This will be a relaxed Q&A session rather than a formal presentation. We will answer all questions regarding the management of type 2 diabetes, as well as update you on the latest information about the new funding of continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery for those living with type 1 diabetes.
Nibbles provided from 5pm for a 5.30pm start (aiming to finish by 7.00pm).
Please RSVP
All practice teams and Hauora providers from the Paeroa, Waihi, Tairua, Pauanui and Whangamata region are welcome. Please RSVP to MHNAdminTeam@pinnacle.health.nz for catering purposes.
This event is designed for relationship building and education and is not pharmaceutical sponsored.

The Waikato Regional Diabetes Service will take the lead in supporting whānau with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) with this change. Not all people living with T1D are known to the regional diabetes service. In order to re-engage these whānau with the funded technology, please do a query build of your patients with T1D so they can be informed of the localities of drop in clinics and CGM start education.
The clinical diabetes specialist in primary care provides clinical mentorship and advice to the practice team in supporting patients with diabetes.
