Diabetes resources
When you’re first diagnosed with diabetes, whether type1, type 2 or gestational diabetes it can be overwhelming. You are likely to have a lot of questions and need to know where to find trusted information quickly.
To help you better understand your diabetes diagnosis we have here information and range of resources including factsheets, videos, podcasts and posters in one easy to access place.
These resources will help you to earn about and better understand the different aspects of managing your diabetes each day. You will find information about insulin, medication, food and carb counting, managing your blood glucose levels, exercise, your mental health, travel, disposing of sharps and so much more.
You can learn about the doctors, specialists and carers who are available to help you manage your diabetes and the different types of care and support they will provide.
There are also diabetes resources covering the specific needs of people from different cultural backgrounds as well as our First Nations Communities.
