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 on diabetes.
We invite your involvement in the latest upcoming campaigns.
World Diabetes Day Seminar – Research & Innovation
World Diabetes Day on November 14 is a worldwide diabetes awareness campaign. Every year World Diabetes Day reaches more than 1 billion people in over 160 countries and aims to highlight key issues relating to diabetes.
