It's Time To Bust Myths Around Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the most misunderstood health conditions and diabetes-related stigma is a very real issue for many Australians living with diabetes.

Diabetes Victoria recently launched a campaign to bust common myths about diabetes to help people become more knowledgeable about the condition and raise awareness about all types of diabetes and the myriad misconceptions surrounding each.
