Jo-anne E. Nankervis-Manski is an Endocrinologist based in Fitzroy, VIC, working from 29 Regent Street, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, Australia.
Endocrinology is all about hormones and how they affect the body. In practice, this can mean helping people manage long-term conditions like Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Support can also include the day-to-day problem of low blood sugar, and the urgent side of diabetes care such as diabetic ketoacidosis, when things get serious and need prompt treatment.
Blood sugar health isn’t just about numbers. Many people also come in with symptoms that make daily life harder, including peripheral neuropathy, where nerves can feel painful, numb, or tingly. Jo-anne helps patients make sense of what’s going on, and works with their broader care plan so treatment stays steady and practical.
Cholesterol and fat in the blood matter too. Jo-anne also looks after issues like high cholesterol and familial hypercholesterolemia. For some families, this runs in the family line, so care often involves long-term planning and regular checks.
There are other conditions listed in her care focus as well. This includes essential thrombocythemia, a blood-related condition that needs careful monitoring, and arthritis and osteoarthritis, where pain and stiffness can build up over time. At times, care may also link in with work around knee replacement, particularly when someone needs help coordinating decisions about their recovery and overall health.
Infectious illness can be part of the picture too. Jo-anne’s listed focus includes COVID-19, and other infections such as tonsillitis. She may also be involved in care related to severe respiratory illness, including SARS, depending on the case and team involved.
Details about her education and past work history aren’t shown on this page. The clinic focus, however, is clear: practical hormone and metabolic care for people dealing with diabetes, cholesterol problems, and ongoing health challenges.
