World Diabetes Day is on November 14, 2025!
World Diabetes Day serves as a reminder of the importance of raising awareness, improving care, and supporting individuals living with diabetes. It’s a day that brings together healthcare professionals, organisations, and communities around the world to discuss prevention, management, and the importance of education.
We have shared some inspiring real-life stories of people living with Diabetes to help you understand what Diabetes can look like. It doesn’t discriminate and can affect anyone at any time:
So, what’s it all about?
World Diabetes Day was created by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to shine a light on the growing diabetes epidemic. It’s about understanding the risk factors, encouraging early diagnosis, and making sure people have access to the care they need.
So, how is the NGO Training Centre helping to raise awareness and support people in the community with Diabetes?
At the NGO Training Centre, we know that education is key.
Our Diabetes courses give Disability Support Professionals and Aged Care Workers the confidence to:
- Recognise symptoms and risk factors early
- Support individuals with day-to-day management
- Respond to emergencies like hypo- or hyperglycaemia
- Promote healthy lifestyle choices that make a difference
Our flexible online courses enable staff to learn at their own pace, ensuring quality, compliance, and confidence in their care.
This World Diabetes Day, let’s keep the conversation going. Together, we can raise awareness, empower our workforce, and support healthier futures for ageing individuals everywhere.
