Listen: 6 minute preview of what’s to come!

Real conversations. Practical insights. Better outcomes.

Diabetes Chat Australia is a podcast for health professionals, people living with diabetes, carers, disability support workers, advocates and anyone passionate about improving diabetes care.

Hosted by Jayne Lehmann, Registered Nurse, Credentialled Diabetes Educator and disability health advocate, and Bec Bailey, Accredited Exercise Physiologist and diabetes educator in training, the podcast brings together experience, curiosity and a shared commitment to helping people live well with diabetes.

Each episode explores the real-world challenges and opportunities that shape diabetes care across Australia. From clinical practice and emerging technologies to disability, health equity, advocacy and lived experience, Diabetes Chat Australia creates a space for meaningful conversations that inform, challenge and inspire.

What makes this podcast different is the unique perspective of its hosts. Jayne brings decades of experience in diabetes care and a deeply personal understanding of disability through her daughter Sarah’s life. Bec brings fresh thinking, enthusiasm and the perspective of a health professional building her expertise in diabetes. Together they create conversations that are honest, practical, engaging and grounded in the realities of everyday care.

Along the way you’ll hear stories, insights, lessons learned, shared mentoring, moments of humour and conversations with guests who are making a difference in diabetes care and support.

Whether you’re supporting a person living with diabetes, developing your professional skills, navigating disability services, or simply looking to stay informed about the issues that matter, Diabetes Chat Australia is your place to learn, connect and grow.

Because better diabetes care starts with better conversations.

Informed. Supported. Empowered.
