Diabetes WA - Advocacy & Research

Advocacy & Research

Research

Here at Diabetes WA we remain committed to assisting Australian researchers at the forefront of worldwide efforts to develop a cure for diabetes, and to help improve management techniques and products in the meantime.

As a member of Diabetes Australia we continuue to support the Diabetes Research Trust (DART), established in 1987. The trust provides vital funds for research into diabetes prevention, management and ultimately a cure. DART also fosters new researchers, funding many research projects in the area.

Diabetes WA supports the local Diabetes Research Foundation (DRF), founded in 1976 to examine all areas of diabetes. Recent DRF research has looked at youth transition, helping young people who are moving from the adolescent to adult health care systems. Our support and action of research outcomes in blood glucose monitoring, weight management and care plans is ongoing and depends on the generosity of the WA community to continue, to make a donation click here.

Advocacy

Advocacy is defined as 'the act of pleading or arguing in favour of something, such as a cause, idea, or policy; active support.'

At Diabetes WA, we take advocacy seriously and we work hard to promote greater community equality, acceptance and support of people with diabetes and to eliminate discrimination. We help to create freedom from the stigma of diabetes.
