Angelica Rostov is a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) and pharmacist based in St Kilda East, Victoria. She works from 322, Inkerman Street, St Kilda East VIC 3183, and her focus is on helping people understand diabetes day to day.
Diabetes can feel like a lot to manage, especially when things change from week to week. Angelica provides diabetes education and counselling for people living with diabetes, as well as support for families who want to know what to do. In many cases, that means breaking it down into smaller steps, like how to read your blood glucose results, and what different numbers can mean.
She also helps with medication management and review. That can include checking that medicines are being taken in a safe, practical way, and working through common questions like timing, side effects, and how to fit treatment into a busy routine. At times, people just need a calm chat to sort out confusion and feel more confident about their plan.
Blood glucose monitoring training is a big part of her work too. Angelica shows people how to monitor safely and comfortably, and then helps them connect results to everyday choices. Nutrition and diet counselling is included as well. This isn’t about strict diets or complicated meal plans. It’s more about practical changes, like what to eat when life is hectic, how to balance carbs, and how to make food choices feel doable.
Lifestyle modification guidance rounds things out. This can cover simple habits that support health, like getting more consistent with movement, planning for snacks, and making a plan for sick days or times when routines slip. The goal is steady progress, not perfection.
Over time, Angelica has built experience supporting people with diabetes across different situations. Some visits are focused and quick, while others take more time because there are worries to unpack. She brings a steady, no-drama approach, and she explains things in plain English.
For education, Angelica has professional training as a credentialled diabetes educator and pharmacist. She speaks English and Russian, which can be helpful for patients who prefer to communicate in those languages.
There’s no big “one-size-fits-all” treatment here. Angelica works with patients to understand what’s going on for them, then helps turn that into clear next steps that fit real life.
