About Angie Llewellyn
I am a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) and Registered Nurse with more than 30 years' experience working across hospitals, general practice, community health, Aboriginal health services, research, teaching and private practice.
Over the years, I have supported thousands of people living with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and other chronic health conditions. Whether someone is newly diagnosed, starting insulin, using diabetes technology or trying to prevent complications, my focus has always been the same — providing practical advice that can be applied in everyday life.
My professional journey has taken me from major metropolitan hospitals to rural and remote communities across Australia. This breadth of experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face in managing their health, regardless of where they live.
I have a particular interest in Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, insulin therapy, insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), diabetes prevention and chronic disease self-management.
Diabetes is also something I understand personally. My daughter lives with Type 1 diabetes, coeliac disease and thyroid disease. Supporting her over many years has provided valuable insight into the realities of living with a chronic health condition and reinforced my belief that successful diabetes management is about much more than blood glucose levels alone.
In 2019, I was honoured to receive the South Australian Diabetes Educator of the Year Award in recognition of my contribution to diabetes care and education.
In addition to clinical practice, I have worked as a lecturer, course coordinator, researcher, author and mentor to other health professionals. I am passionate about sharing knowledge, building confidence and helping people make sense of what can often feel like a complex and overwhelming condition.
Today, I provide personalised telehealth consultations Australia-wide, making expert diabetes education and support accessible wherever you live.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, starting insulin, using glucose monitoring technology, planning a pregnancy, managing diabetes during pregnancy, or looking to reduce your risk of complications, I am here to provide practical advice, evidence-based care and support tailored to your individual needs.

Beyond Diabetes
These interests remind me that health is not simply about managing a condition—it's about having the freedom and confidence to continue doing the things you enjoy.
