Diabetic Educator Beenleigh

Gillary Assedjian – Diabetic Educator at Beenleigh Clinic

About Gillary

Gillary is a wife and mother of two young children and a furball ruby Cavalier puppy. She was born in Sydney and grew up on the Gold Coast for the last 32 years.

Gillary studied a Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science and Master of Pharmacy at Griffith University Gold Coast. After registering as a pharmacist in 2013, she worked in several community pharmacies across Brisbane and Gold Coast.

She then went on to complete post-graduate studies in Diabetes Education and Management with the University of Technology Sydney in 2018 and was awarded the title of Credentialed Diabetes Educator by the Australia Diabetes Educators Association in 2022. She also completed my accreditation with the Australian College of Consultant Pharmacy in 2022 which enabled her to provide bulk billed Home Medication Reviews to all Medicare card and DVA card holders in the comfort of their own home.

Diabetes is close to her heart as several of her loved ones including her own father affected by this condition. Gillary is passionate about her work and continually strives to keep learning, growing and challenging herself so that her clients receive the best care possible.

“Let me help you demystify your diabetes management and boost your confidence in your own self-management skills. I believe you can be the expert in your own diabetes. I am here to assist you in your journey. I hope you leave feeling more confident and empowered to make changes necessary for your health.”

Gillary speaks English and Spanish

She would be delighted to help you at Top Health Doctors in Beenleigh

How a diabetes educator can help you

  • Teach you about diabetes, what it is, the potential risks and complications, how to manage and prevent them.
  • Help you monitor and manage your blood glucose levels.
  • Advise and support you to make lifestyle changes.
  • Inform you about other health problems you may be at risk of because of your diabetes. Most importantly, your CDE will talk to you about how you can prevent these problems.
  • Explain how to use medications, including insulin therapy. I will include practical demonstrations and will show you how and when to inject insulin.
  • Our diabetes educator will work closely with your GP, endocrinologist, physiotherapist, podiatrist, dietician, exercise physiologist, and/or any other health professionals in your diabetes health care team so that you receive the most effective support and the most holistic care possible.
  • Help you access subsidised products and services you may need to manage your diabetes through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).
  • Provide you with motivation, guidance and support to help you set and work towards your health goals.
  • Answer any questions you may have along the way.
