Support that Listens.
Care that Understands.
Diabetes NQ provides support for children, adolescents, and adults with all types of diabetes. ​I am Siobhan, a Nurse Practitioner (NP), Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE). My passion is to educate and support people living with diabetes so that they can live their best lives.
What can a Nurse Practitioner do for you?
A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an advanced healthcare professional who can assess, diagnose, and treat many health conditions. They combine the compassion of a nurse with the clinical expertise of a doctor, offering comprehensive, patient-centred care.
No referrals needed
You can claim Medicare rebates for your appointments with me.
As a Nurse Practitioner, my services are independent of the Chronic Disease Care Plan with your GP, meaning the visits usually allocated to a Diabetes Educator are no longer required.
Consultancy Service
I also provide diabetes training and support to health agencies, healthcare providers, aged care facilities, workplaces, and families. Training sessions cover all aspects of diabetes care, including medication management, diabetes emergencies, hypoglycaemia, and general diabetes education.

About
Meet Siobhan Barlow, Nurse Practitioner & Credentialled Diabetes Educator
Hi, I’m Siobhan. Like many of the people I support, I also live with diabetes in my family; my son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age six. This experience gives me a personal understanding of the daily challenges of managing the condition.
​
I’m a Registered Nurse and Midwife, later qualifying as a Credentialled Diabetes Educator and Endorsed Nurse Practitioner to provide broader, more holistic care.
​
As a certified insulin pump trainer, I help clients set up and manage insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and bolus calculators to make diabetes management easier and more effective.
​
My approach is educational, empowering, and non-judgemental — supporting you to manage your condition in a way that fits your life. I also serve as a board member of the Type 1 Foundation, helping raise vital funds and awareness each year.
Type Strong
Type Strong was developed by the Australian founder Ryan. Ryan was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2019. Ryan is a qualified mechanical design engineer who combines his expertise and lived experience of diabetes to design the best possible products for the worldwide community of people living with diabetes.
