💙 World Diabetes Day 💙

Diabetes continues to impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at much higher rates than other Australians — but it's our communities that are leading the change.

Across NSW, AH&MRC Member Services are working hard to prevent, detect, and manage diabetes through community-led, culturally safe care.

💪🏽 National Diabetes Services Scheme has put together a jam packed digital booklet with everything you need to know about diabetes. Check it out here:https://www.ndss.com.au/wp-content/uploads/booklet-diabetes-yarning.pdf
