Join the Movement: Advocate for Access to Diabetes Technology
Diabetes Victoria is advocating for people with all types of diabetes to have equitable access to affordable diabetes technologies. Every day we hear from people with diabetes who tell us about the transformative impact of diabetes technologies and that access needs to be expanded. This was echoed in a recent parliamentary inquiry into diabetes.

“Modern tools like CGMs allow us to track our blood glucose levels in real time. This helps us spot dangerous highs and lows quickly, reducing guesswork and risk of complications.”

“Technology reduces the mental burden of constant management, yet access is determined by affordability alone. No one should have to weigh their mental health against the cost of living.”

"No Australian should have to trade household stability for safe diabetes care."
