About of Judith L. Gooley

Judith L. Gooley is an Endocrinologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia.


In everyday care, her focus is on the hormone side of health, especially when it comes to managing blood sugar. She works with people living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), where balancing insulin and food can be a daily challenge. At times, that can also mean dealing with low blood sugar, also called hypos. Getting the right plan matters because blood sugar swings can affect energy, mood, and safety.


For some patients, care also includes looking at Islet Cell Transplantation. This is a topic that can feel big and hard to understand at first. In consultations, the aim is usually to talk through what’s involved, what might help, and what to consider for your own situation. It’s not just about treatment options. It’s also about support and next steps, so people know what to do between appointments.


Low blood sugar can happen for different reasons, like changes in meals, activity, illness, or insulin timing. When hypos keep happening, it can be scary and exhausting. In many cases, working together means checking patterns, reviewing routines, and making changes that feel realistic. Sometimes the best improvements come from small adjustments and clear, simple actions.


Because diabetes care can be ongoing, the appointment style is often about clarity. People need answers they can use. They also need a plan that fits their life, whether they’re juggling work, school, family, sport, or just busy weeks where routines slip.
