Diabetes YOUnited hits the road with chef Miguel Maestre 14 November 2024 Australians living with diabetes are doing it tougher than ever. That’s why today, on World Diabetes Day (Thursday 14 November), Diabetes Australia is launching Diabetes YOUnited – our new, free national membership program available to everyone in Australia. To celebrate the launch of Diabetes YOUnited, we’re teaming up with chef Miguel Maestre to host a series of cooking demonstrations around Australia. Miguel’s challenge? To cook a tasty, easy, and affordable meal. After appearing with Diabetes Australia Group CEO Justine Cain on Channel 9’s Today show this morning, the first stop is Perth! “This is such an important campaign for me to be involved in. I’ve been on my own health journey with my nutrition and my fitness because I want to feel good and have energy. I’m so passionate about good food but I know it’s challenging times for people right now,” said Miguel. “Everything is expensive. I want to help show people that you can make really tasty food that’s not expensive and is very nutritious. While I’m an expert in good food, Diabetes Australia are the experts in diabetes support and I’m looking forward to cooking up a storm around the country!”
