Across all states and territories in Australia, the key message for safe driving is simple: Be Above 5 to Drive!

Diabetes Australia and AusRoads also recommend:
- Checking your glucose level before driving and stopping every 2 hours to check and ensure it is 5 mmol/L or above
- Making sure the hypoglycaemia pack in your vehicle is always well stocked and ready to treat any blood glucose levels below 5 mmol/L
- Keep a blood glucose meter in your vehicle when you drive – just in case!

Diabetes distress is the emotional burden of living with and managing diabetes.

It could be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of living with diabetes, concerns that you are ‘failing’ with your diabetes management or you are frustrated that you can’t predict or ‘control’ diabetes from one day to the next.

It becomes a serious problem when these emotions start to impact on your daily life. If it is not managed, it can get worse over time. It may lead to ‘burnout’ – this is when a person feels emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed by the demands of their diabetes and tries to cope with this by giving up on taking care of their diabetes.

If you are concerned you or someone you know is 'burnt out', you should talk with your doctor or other health professional.

🎉BREAKING TYPE 1 DIABETIC NEWS!🎉

The DANII Foundation is proud to release that Health Minister Greg Hunt delivers Stage 2 of $100 Million CGM funding for Type 1 Diabetes! 🎉💜🎉

The Morrison Government will expand free access to blood glucose monitoring devices for pregnant women, children and more adults with type 1 diabetes , saving people up to $7,000 a year.

This investment of more than $100 million in additional funding over the next four years will ensure that free glucose monitoring devices are available to over 37,000 eligible people with type one diabetes.

From March 1, 2019 eligibility for fully subsidised continuous glucose monitoring device will be expanded under the National Diabetes Services Scheme to include:

💜 women with type 1 diabetes who are pregnant, breastfeeding or actively planning pregnancy

💜 people with type 1 diabetes aged 21 years or older who have concessional status, and who have a high clinical need such as experiencing recurrent severe hypoglycaemic events

💜 children and young people with conditions similar to type 1 diabetes who require insulin. This includes a range of conditions such as cystic fibrosis related diabetes or neonatal diabetes

The Government will work with Diabetes Australia and key diabetes experts to implement the expanded scheme and finalise the clinical criteria.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that attacks a person’s ability to produce insulin. People with this condition must be able to monitor their glucose levels day and night.

Continuous glucose monitoring devices continually monitor a person’s blood sugar levels and provides alerts if blood sugar levels drop too low.

It involves a sensor, usually attached to the stomach, that monitors the blood levels and has an alarm that can alert people or their career if the levels drop to low.

The Government also plans to add the new the FreeStyle Libreflash glucose monitoring system to the scheme for these people with type one diabetes. This will provide patients with more choice in how they manage their diabetes through this important program.

The FreeStyle Libre device involves a sensor on the arm that monitors blood glucose levels and sends readings to a user’s mobile phone. When a patient passes their phone past the sensor it provides a reading of their blood sugar levels.

Expanding access to these blood glucose monitoring devices helps reduce stress and anxiety as well as emergency visits to the hospital.

These devices will bring peace of mind to Australians with type 1 diabetes and improve their quality of life now and into the future.

In line with a commitment made during the 2016 federal election, the Coalition Government has already made access to glucose monitoring products available to eligible children and young people aged under 21 years with type 1 diabetes - nearly 9,500 young Australians - through the National Diabetes Services Scheme have already taken up the free devices.

The Morrison Government’s strong economic management means we can make sure people have more patients have access to more life-saving and life-improving medicines and treatments.

More information will be available from the National Diabetes Services Scheme website at: www.ndss.com.au

Type one Diabetes awareness month November

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. Let's make an often invisible disease visible to the world!

We know managing type 1 diabetes at school can be tough for kids, parents and teachers.

That's why we're developing a new diabetes in schools education and training program to make it easier for teachers and staff to support children with type 1 diabetes and give parents confidence that their children will be safe and supported at school.

The Minister for Health, Hon. Greg Hunt MP, has announced $6 million in funding over two years to support the development and delivery of the program.

We are pleased to be working with the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, the Australian Diabetes Society, Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Group-APEG, JDRF Australia and the state and territory diabetes organisations, plus schools, teachers and families living with diabetes on this important program.

Very exciting times ahead. I am able to provide education on using this great pump to help with managing glucose control easier on a daily basis.

This is the new pump soon to be released by AMSL. I was lucky enough to be one of the first 20 people in Australia to be trained on this pump this week in Sydney. Just waiting on stock. So exciting. It’s smaller than a credit card and very user friendly. Can’t wait to start .........

Medical teams having training this week ... the plot thickens 🙌👌⭐️

In light of the flood of current media today on type 2 please like and share the difference ✅💙
