23.01.2022 Today, we come together to remember those brave souls who fought and died for the freedom of our nation. We also thank those who are still bravely defending our country as part of the armed forces. What does today mean to you?

23.01.2022 Did you know...

23.01.2022 #ThatMomentWhen your significant other helps you guesstimate a carb count. How close do they get?

22.01.2022 "Experto credite" or "Trust one who has gone through it" - whichever way you say it, Virgil knew the importance of sharing experiences and learning from others. Who is your best diabuddy? What was the best thing you have learnt along the way from their experiences?

22.01.2022 Today's book is for the younger members of our community... although that said... it is worth reading as a parent too! The author - Patrick McAllister - was diagnosed at the age of 12 and wrote this aged 20... He has served as a mentor to teenage patients at Yale Pediatric Endocrinology and started a Chapter of the College Diabetes Network at Saint Michael's College in Burlington, Vermont. The book covers nearly every possible scenario you could imagine including coming home from hospital after your initial diagnosis all the way to preparing to go off to university (college)... We'd love to hear from anyone who has read it and don't forget to post your ideas for future Book Club good reads!

21.01.2022 We've been thinking a lot about food lately and wondered where you find inspiration from... are you an adventurous cook or do you stick to family favorites? Is there a legendary family cookbook or do you search online and try what sounds nice? Where have you found something great to eat lately?

18.01.2022 DAYLIGHT SAVINGS STARTS TONIGHT At 2am Sun 4th October, Daylight Savings begins (in NSW, SA, ACT, VIC & TAS), so 2am becomes 3am. Now whilst your smart phone might automatically update, your pump doesn't... so before you go to bed, make sure you have updated the time on it and your meter - along with all the other clocks in the house ;) And then try and look on the bright side - it means summer is just that little bit closer! Here's how to update the time on your pump:... Paradigm Veo: ACT > Utilities > Time/Date > Choose 12hr or 24hr set up MiniMed 640G: Menu > Utilities > Time & Date > Choose 12hr or 24hr set up MiniMed 670G: Menu > Options > Utilities > Time & Date > Choose 12hr or 24hr set up Ensure the meter has synchronized time and date if connected. And ensure you take the time change into consideration when you set limits for the night. Always read the instructions for use and health warnings available at https://bit.ly/2EVvIgm.

18.01.2022 When first diagnosed with diabetes, it is only natural to start thinking about all the things you think you won't be able to do... but this community alone is proof that you can do anything - if you just believe in yourself! No matter how you manage your diabetes, it does not define who you are... If this rings true for you - why not share your story of success with the community!

16.01.2022 We’re excited to announce that TODAY our amazing Ambassador (and JDRF One Walk Step Challenge Ambassador) April will be taking over the JDRF Australia Instagram page to help you stay motivated, raise awareness of T1D and support Aussie researchers who are working to defeat it forever. So, lace up your sneakers, pack your hypo snacks and check your BGLs ready for 5:30PM AEST today to take One Walk with April! We can’t wait to see you there. #JDRFBlueArmy #typeonetotypenone #typeonediabetes #type1diabetes #diabetes #diabetesaustralia #researchholdsthekey #typeonestrong #t1dawareness

Keep an eye out here for more stats around today's theme and check out our Instagram Story for some fun ways to get involved and spread the awareness!

15.01.2022 Sometimes our diabetes can feel like it has a life of its own... who best characterizes yours?

14.01.2022 You know that feeling... you've just taken out your current infusion set... and getting ready to insert the new one... ahhh the freedom... tag someone you know gets it ;)

13.01.2022 #ManagingtheMyths Many people believe upon being diagnosed with diabetes that they need to reduce or eliminate all sugar from their diet... but sugar is found in many forms and in many healthy foods. Let's not forget that sugar is found naturally in fruit, plain yoghurt and milk - all of which make up part of the healthy five food groups and are therefore an important part of a healthy diet. All of the quality evidence shows these foods have a positive impact on our health. The reality is that ALL Australians should try and limit their intake of the kinds of foods which are high in added sugars and provide little other nutrition (aka lollies, soft drinks, cordial, biscuits and cakes) not just those of us living with diabetes.* *SOURCE: https://bit.ly/3uxXILO

04.01.2022 Know the feeling???

02.01.2022 Today (in Australia) we celebrate World Teachers' Day. Traditionally it is celebrated globally on the first Friday in October, but because that lands in our school holiday period we wait until school is back. This year, so many of us have been asked to take on the role of teacher for our children and it has reinforced for many how much of an impact they have on the lives of the children they look after, and just how large a role they play in helping children learn to fit in with the world around them - especially when that child is living with diabetes. To celebrate this remarkable profession (and how much hard work we have all done to help teach our children during this ongoing pandemic), we are asked to post a photo of us and/or our kids wearing sunglasses. Don't forget to add the tags: #teachersday #brightfuture
