2017: To the women of diabetes campaign for World Diabetes Day
Diabetes Victoria was celebrating World Diabetes Day 2017 on Tuesday 14 November and the 2017 theme was: To the women of diabetes – thank you. We were taking the opportunity to recognise the day-to-day achievements of women in the field of diabetes – many of which go unnoticed. Women are often responsible for ensuring their loved ones’ diabetes is managed, many work as diabetes nurse educators and researchers, and many live with diabetes themselves. This year we want to thank all these women who are touched by diabetes in some capacity. Join us: Download a social media pack now and check out our blog post.
Blue Monument Challenge
Diabetes Victoria also joined the International Diabetes Federation's annual monument challenge. In Melbourne, the Queen Victoria Women's Centre building was lit up in blue as a testimony to the worldwide effort to raise awareness for diabetes and to engage the global diabetes community.
