Diabetes Victoria’s new awareness campaign, Bust a Myth, kicks off on Monday 4 June 2018.

This theme will help to bust some of the most common myths around diabetes – and will help Victorians to understand more about the condition.

Bust a Myth provides Diabetes Victoria with the opportunity to raise awareness about all types of diabetes and the myriad of myths surrounding the condition.

We have chosen five common myths to bust during the week.

This campaign, scheduled to run from Monday 4 June to Friday 8 June, consists of five videos and campaign materials, which will run across digital, social and print media. By busting these five diabetes myths we will help dispel the stigma for people living with any type of diabetes.  

What you can do:

• Download, print and display our campaign poster in a prominent place. 
• Raise awareness using the hashtag: #bustamyth
• Share your story via our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
• Consider making a donation to Diabetes Victoria to help fund vital services and research.
