Diabetes is a serious, lifelong condition. And a potentially life-threatening one. More than 370,000 Victorians are living with diabetes, and a further 280 Aussies are diagnosed every day. With your help, we can reduce the impact of diabetes, giving people living with diabetes hope and confidence to live well with diabetes while we continue our search for a cure.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS

Every dollar raised works hard to help people affected by diabetes through funding:

Research discoveries

Diabetes was once a death sentence. Thanks to research, advancements in technology are transforming lives, giving people more confidence in managing their diabetes and giving them a better quality of life while we search for a cure.

Education programs

Education programs provide people the skills and knowledge to self-manage their condition effectively, which helps to also reduce their risk of serious diabetes complications; such as amputation, blindness, heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.

Support and advocacy services

Managing diabetes can be challenging and overwhelming. Support and advocacy services provide practical help and support with the challenges that individuals and families may face when living with diabetes.

Diabetes Victoria camps

Attending camp can be life-changing for a child living with type 1 diabetes. Children gain confidence and independence learning how to manage their condition and making life-long memories and friends other children living with diabetes.
