World Diabetes Day

Hello readers 

I’m working from home today instead of my usual locations in Wantirna and Knox, and I wanted to take a moment to share something important. It is World Diabetes Day on November 14th, and this year’s theme is Diabetes and Wellbeing at Work. It focuses on promoting supportive and inclusive workplaces for people living with diabetes.

Workplaces can support employees by allowing flexible breaks for glucose checks, insulin injections, or meals, conducting diabetes awareness sessions so everyone understands what it’s like to live with diabetes, and encouraging healthy activities, like the walks we sometimes do together at my workplace. 

You can also participate in World Diabetes Day by sharing information about diabetes to raise awareness or joining fundraisers and activities to promote the cause and raise funds. 

If you want to get involved, visit the official websites for Diabetes Victoria or Diabetes Australia. I hope you’ll consider participating in this great cause. 

Thanks for reading my blog!
