Diabetes Awareness Week: 12-18th
November
This year's Diabetes Awareness Week is all about letting people know that if they have diabetes, Diabetes New Zealand can help. With more than 225,000 Kiwis living with diabetes and 50 more people diagnosed every day, this message is now more important than ever.
Diabetes is a life-long condition which must be lived with and managed all day every day. And for most of the time, the person must manage the condition on their own. This awareness week Diabetes NZ wants people to know no one has to go it alone with their diabetes.
To mark the week, events are planned across the country. More information is available on the Diabetes NZ Website: www.diabetes.org.nz
