What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects how your body processes glucose (sugar) in the blood. It occurs when the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t use it effectively. Insulin is the hormone that regulates glucose. Without proper insulin function, blood sugar levels can become too high. There are different types of diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), but all require ongoing management to maintain stable blood sugar levels and support long-term health.


What’s the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed earlier in life and occurs when the body produces little or no insulin. Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults and develops when the body doesn’t use insulin effectively. While both types affect how your body processes blood sugar, type 2 is often linked to lifestyle factors and may be managed with ongoing support, such as a doctor-reviewed diabetes treatment plan online.


Can type 2 diabetes be prevented or delayed?

Yes — in many cases, type 2 diabetes can be delayed or even prevented through lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use all contribute to reducing the risk. If you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes or are at risk, seeking medical support can help you manage your health early.


How does online diabetes treatment work?

You'll fill out a short online questionnaire. A licensed doctor will review your information and may offer treatment if clinically appropriate.


Can I request a diabetes prescription online?

 Yes — InstantScripts allows you to request diabetes prescriptions online, from the comfort of your home. If a prescription is considered clinically appropriate after review, it may be sent to you via SMS or email or to your local pharmacy.

Who is eligible for diabetes care through InstantScripts?

Adults in Australia with an IHI number seeking support for managing diabetes — whether newly diagnosed or requiring ongoing support — can request care.


Is this suitable for long-term diabetes management?

Yes. You can request reviews and follow-ups to maintain continuity in your care.

Once approved, can my script be sent to my pharmacy or delivered?

 If approved, your prescription can be sent directly to your nominated pharmacy or to you via SMS or email. You can also select to have your medication delivered.
