Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing health challenges, impacting millions of people, of all ages, around the world.

In Australia, more than 300 people are diagnosed with diabetes each day

Diabetes can be a challenging and relentless condition to manage, requiring daily self-management and long-term medical support.

In addition to the physical demands, diabetes can cause significant emotional distress and, over time, lead to serious health complications such as heart disease and kidney disease. It may also result in vision impairment and nerve damage, all of which contribute to a reduced quality of life.

Addressing diabetes requires significant investment in research, education and support services that recognise all of the complexities the condition brings.
