National Diabetes Service Scheme (NDSS)

The NDSS is an Australian Government initiative that ensures diabetes products and supplies are made more affordable and accessible. The NDSS gives you access to a range of subsidised products, such as;

  • Blood glucose monitoring strips (restrictions apply to people with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin)
  • Urine monitoring strips
  • Insulin syringes and pen needles (if you need insulin or approved non-insulin injectable medications)
  • Insulin pump consumables (for people with type 1 diabetes who meet certain eligibility criteria)
  • Continuous and flash glucose monitoring products (for people with type 1 diabetes and specific ‘other’ conditions who meet certain eligibility criteria).

Symptoms of Diabetes

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition that is caused by an excessive level of glucose in the blood. The condition occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone released from the pancreas. There are several types of diabetes – type 2 being the most common. Patients with type 2 diabetes produce insulin at a level insufficient for keeping blood glucose levels at a healthy state.

The symptoms of diabetes develop gradually over time, and they often go unnoticed in the early stages. In fact, it is estimated that most people have the disease 5 to 10 years before it is diagnosed.

A number of symptoms may indicate the presence of diabetes. . 

We should note that if you are experiencing the following, we strongly advise you book an appointment with your physician as soon as possible so that they can diagnose the cause.

  • Unusual thirst
  • Increased frequency of urination
  • Blurred vision
  • Increased fatigue with no apparent reason
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Slow-healing sores
  • Extreme hunger
  • Increased frequency of infections
