National Diabetes Week

Every day, 280 Australians develop diabetes. Building on last year’s campaign, Diabetes Victoria (DV) will run a positive awareness campaign for National Diabetes Week 2016 (10–16 July).

‘We are here to help you!’ is directed to all people affected by and at risk of developing diabetes. The campaign will raise awareness for all types of diabetes and show solutions how to live well with the chronic condition. Diabetes Victoria's message is uplifting, highlighting how we can all work together to ensure diabetes won’t stop anybody living a long and healthy life.
