Starting insulin during pregnancy can feel daunting — but you don’t have to face it alone 💙

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, diabetes is more common, with studies showing rates around 16%. While this can increase risks for both mum and baby, the right information and care can make a real difference, helping families feel supported and empowered.

That’s why, together with the Baker Institute, we’ve developed new resources to provide guidance, education, and reassurance for women beginning insulin during pregnancy.

What’s more annoying than a mozzie bite?

Getting bitten because you didn’t apply your repellent correctly!

Take time to apply repellent correctly. It’ll stop you from getting itchy mozzie bites that can sometimes make you really sick. Here’s how to apply:

• use repellent that contains DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
• apply repellent evenly to all areas of exposed skin – in a similar way to how you apply sunscreen, don’t forget your face!
• apply repellent AFTER you apply sunscreen
• reapply repellent regularly. This is important if you are outside during hot weather, or swimming
• apply repellent to young children – don't let them apply their own
• always read and follow the instructions on the label.
