World Diabetes Day is held annually on 14 November. This year’s theme, Diabetes and Wellbeing, aims to put wellbeing into the heart of diabetes care, believing that with appropriate access to diabetes care and support for their wellbeing, everyone with diabetes has the chance to live well.
However, not everyone has the same access to diabetes care. Hospitalisation and rates of death related to diabetes are significantly higher in rural and remote communities than in major Australian cities.
CheckUP recently spoke with a few of the Outreach Credentialled Diabetes Educators who are improving the equity of diabetes care and changing the lives of Western Queenslanders.
Diabetes Australia is supported by funding from Western Queensland PHN through the Australian Government’s PHN Program, and we would like to extend our appreciation for this support.
