This program is designed as an update to the basic principles of diabetes management and it has been designed for allied health professionals, nurses and Aboriginal health workers. Each module introduces the reader to a range of diabetes resources, tools and organisations.

Regardless of your professional background it is important to have a basic understanding of contemporary diabetes management and care. People with diabetes need education and support so they can be effective self managers.
