Diabetes Australia

The diabetes epidemic is one of the largest and most complex health challenges Australia has faced. It touches millions of lives across the country and impacts every part of our health system.

And its impact is growing. In the past 20 years, the numbers have dramatically increased by around 220%. If the growth rates continue, there will be more than 3.1 million Australians living with diabetes by 2050 and the annual cost is forecast to grow to about $45 billion per annum in this time.

Behind these numbers are real people. People with diabetes who want to live long and live well. These are the people we are uniting for, to drive change and have a greater impact.

Together we can change the lives of millions of Australians, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, and loved ones, who are living with diabetes or will develop the condition in the years ahead.

That’s why we are asking all Australians to join us and unite in the fight for change.
