20.01.2022 Queensland children are presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a dangerous complication of undiagnosed type 1 diabetes, at alarming rates. Jaxon Pearce is one of those children. By the time Jaxon’s diabetes was diagnosed, the 20-month-old was in DKA, his blood sugar levels had surged and acidic substances called ketones had built up to dangerous levels in his body. A finger-prick glucose test at the emergency department saved his life. This World Diabetes Day, we want you to know the four signs of type 1 diabetes toilet (frequent urination or bedwetting), thirsty (always asking for fluids), tired (adequate sleep but still tired) and thinner (losing weight). If your child has one or more of these symptoms urgently ask your GP for a finger-prick blood glucose test. It’s easy, fast and could save your child’s life.

13.01.2022 This remembrance day we are taking the time to remember and pay our respects to the Australian men and woman from all cultures and who paid the ultimate sacrifice, or were willing to pay that sacrifice. In the spirit of #NAIDOCWeek2020 we pay a special acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have served our country. It is estimated that 1,200 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women volunteered for the AIF during WW1. From the Boer ...war through to Afghanistan and every conflict or peacekeeping operation in between, it is those men and women who found their duty, with commitment, bravery and honour to their country, and most importantly to their mates, that we should remember them. Lest we forget. Image via State Library of Queensland: 1st Reinforcements Queensland to Egypt, 1918
