Amanda Bartlett is a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE), Diabetes Educator, and midwife based in Kensington, NSW. She works at Alana Healthcare, 88 Anzac Parade, Kensington NSW 2033. Amanda helps people understand diabetes in real life, not just in a clinic room.
Diabetes can look different for everyone. At times it’s about learning how to check blood sugar, while other times it’s about feeling less overwhelmed with food choices, symptoms, and day-to-day routines. Amanda supports people living with diabetes and those dealing with pregnancy-related diabetes, including gestational diabetes. She also helps when blood sugar is trending the wrong way and needs careful attention.
Her sessions focus on practical skills. This includes blood sugar monitoring, learning what the numbers can mean, and how to spot patterns over time. Amanda also supports medication management for diabetes, so people feel more confident about how their plan fits into their day. Nutritional counselling is another big part of her work, with guidance that’s calm and realistic, rather than strict or complicated.
Because Amanda is also a midwife, she often brings extra comfort and understanding when health changes happen during pregnancy. That can include planning meals around nausea or morning sickness, managing stress, and working out a routine that still leaves room for rest. In many cases, people don’t just want information. They want reassurance that they can make steady progress and that it’s okay to ask questions.
Amanda’s education includes training as a midwife and as a credentialled diabetes educator. She uses that mix of knowledge to support informed decisions, clear goal setting, and better day-to-day confidence. If research or clinical trials are relevant to someone’s situation, Amanda can point out what matters and what to ask about, but the main focus is always practical care and steady support.
Overall, Amanda’s approach is grounded and kind. Diabetes education can feel like a lot at first, but with the right guidance, it becomes easier to manage. Amanda helps people take the next small step, one appointment at a time.
