Diabetes Qualified is a registered training organisation, and subsidiary of Diabetes NSW & ACT, Australia’s largest member-based charity for people living with or at risk of diabetes. Diabetes NSW & ACT has been supporting people with diabetes, their families, carers and friends since 1938. Diabetes Qualified develops digital diabetes education and resources. Our online programs, such as Living with Insulin Online, are developed by credentialled diabetes educators and health professionals that work with people living with diabetes every week. We primarily provide education for health professionals and support workers, however our experience in developing quality e-learning has allowed Living with Insulin to be adapted to this online format, so it can be accessed by more people Australia-wide.
