National Diabetes Week 2020 kicks off on 11th July and runs until 17th July.

Diabetes is a serious complex condition which can have a significant impact on quality of life and can reduce life expectancy. While there is currently no cure for diabetes, one can live an enjoyable life by learning about the condition and managing it effectively .

“280 Australians develop diabetes every day. That’s one person every five minutes.” (1)

Too many Australians are being diagnosed with diabetes too late. This is true for both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The delay in diagnosis is putting many people at risk of major life threatening health problems.

Get involved this July by:

• Volunteering
• Raising awareness on social media
• Speaking with your GP if you have any concerns
• Making a donation
