World Diabetes Day World Diabetes Day is November 14, 2024 To mark World Diabetes Day 2024, Diabetes Australia is launching free membership for all Australians living with diabetes. This comes in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis, with the diabetes community doing it tougher than ever. In a recent Diabetes Australia national survey, more than 90 percent of people living with diabetes said they are feeling anxious about the rising cost of living. Most worry that managing their diabetes will become unaffordable in the future. And half of people say cost of living pressures are hurting their ability to manage diabetes – placing their health at major risk. In response, we’re launching Diabetes YOUnited, to provide all Australians living with diabetes access to the support they need. Discover Diabetes YOUnited.
