Hello!
I'm Andrew Maher a Diabetes Nurse Practitioner and the founder of On Point Diabetes. I have created this private health service for adults with diabetes that strives to service the Hunter area, with exciting plans to venture further!
​
I have worked as a Registered Nurse (RN) for 20years, been a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) since 2014 and in 2021 I completed my Masters of Nurse Practitioner (NP). I'm also a Certified Insulin Pump and Continuous Glucose Monitor trainer.
​​
Growing up on my family's dairy farm in the Hunter I developed a love of the outdoors, which I still enjoy today with frequent exercise such as running, bike riding and playing the best sport cricket. As well as of trying to keep up with my two children in the backyard.
​
I can sincerely walk alongside my clients with diabetes, as I too was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1993. This was the commencement of a big journey which inspired me to learn & develop professionally, so that I can be here now providing the best care and support to you! It's always been a dream to practice in the lower hunter area to lessen the burden of time to travel for individuals with diabetes to attend a diabetes specialist.
​
Living out what I say to others - taking life by the horns and going for it, led me to this exciting venture of jumping into private practice to provide care for adults with prediabetes, types 1 & 2 diabetes mellitus, with also a specific interest in men's health, exercise and nutrition in diabetes.
​
My approach integrates using up to date medical information, care & technology to support individuals after a diagnosis, providing education and clinical care on how to optimise your ongoing health with diabetes.
"Don't let diabetes get in the way of your life"
​
Let me support you in your journey!
