A powerful way to help reduce the impact of diabetes is to raise awareness – in our community, our state and all around Australia.

Every year, Diabetes SA presents, promotes and participates in awareness campaigns focused on diabetes.

We invite your involvement in the latest upcoming campaigns.

National Diabetes Week 2021

As part of National Diabetes Week 2021 (11-17 July), Diabetes SA will turn the spotlight onto risks associated with diabetes:

  • Increasing awareness of the risk of developing type 2 diabetes through the AUSDRISK tool
  • Reducing the risk of complications for those living with diabetes
  • Providing risk management advice to those living with, or at risk of diabetes.

NDW Campaign Kit

The NDW Campaign Kit explains how health professionals, community organisations, community and media can get involved and includes expanded messages and resources that can be used to raise awareness to ensure we can facilitate the early detection, prevention and management of diabetes.

Living with diabetes? Routine checks help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

We encourage people living with diabetes to complete their annual cycle of care for diabetes management with the aim of reducing the risk for diabetes related complications.

Many people are not seeing their GP or health professional for their routine checks. Learn more about how to get the most from your doctors' appointment.
