Welcome to Diabetes WA
If you’ve got it, we get it
Pre-diabetes
A condition where your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for you to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system destroys healthy cells in the pancreas and stops it from producing insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition where the body does still produce some insulin, but it is either ineffective or there is not enough of it.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after the baby is born.
What’s on
We always have a variety of information sessions that are being conducted on a regular basis for people living with diabetes or supporters of them. These regular sessions include Connect With Diabetes, DESMOND, Insulin Pump Workshop, Living with Insulin, Ready Set Go – Let’s Move and a range of our ‘Smart’ programs (MedSmart, MeterSmart, FootSmart, ShopSmart, Classroom ShopSmart and CarbSmart).
Read the guide to find the right workshop for you!
