Diabetes Action Month 2024: Don't Sugar Coat Diabetes

Diabetes Action Month is Diabetes New Zealand’s biggest awareness campaign, bringing New Zealanders together to take action for our country’s largest and fastest growing condition. This November the theme for Diabetes Action Month 2024 is “Don’t Sugar Coat Diabetes” and it’s all about busting the myths that surround diabetes, so everyone has greater awareness and understanding of the condition. The hope is that with better knowledge there will be less judgement and stigma of people with diabetes.
