The global diabetes community has come together to help people with diabetes affected by the tragic war in Ukraine. 
 
Diabetes Australia stands with the people and government of Ukraine. We know that the Australian diabetes community is looking at how to help, and we are working with the diabetes community and engaging with NGOs to keep across fundraising campaigns we can share. 
 
We are supporting the diabetes community initiative Spare a Rose, which, for the last 10 years, has been held in February and coordinated by global diabetes advocate volunteers. This year, the campaign will be extended throughout March with Spare A Rose for Ukraine and all funds raised this month will be earmarked to support people affected by the war in Ukraine. 
 
All donations made to Spare A Rose go directly to established charity Insulin for Life Global who has decades of experience in supporting people with diabetes in under-resourced countries and responding to humanitarian emergencies.
