Living with Insulin

This has been designed to support people who are using insulin. You might like to check out the NDSS website or your state or territory diabetes organisation to find out what support programs are available to you, such as the Type 2 Diabetes and Me online program.

No, this program is designed for people living with diabetes who are using insulin. This is not training on how to deliver insulin. 

We’re excited to announce that our Safely injecting insulin in a care environment course is now open for bookings! 

This training provides Aged Care and Disability Care staff with essential skills in monitoring glucose and injecting insulin, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the needs of clients with diabetes.
