Diabetes
Between 2012 and 2017, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) developed resources to support the self-management of diabetes and other chronic conditions during and after a natural disaster.
Diabetes

The development of these resources was funded through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS).

Several resources were produced:

  1. Resources for people with diabetes, including a pamphlet ‘My Diabetes Emergency Plan’, a poster ‘Make a Plan. Manage Diabetes in an Emergency’ and a set of Frequently Asked Questions. These resources were translated into Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Vietnamese, Turkish and Arabic.
  2. A guide to the needs of people with diabetes and other chronic conditions in natural disasters for local councils, emergency services and the not-for-profit sector.
  3. A two-part online learning module for health professionals, Part 1 and Part 2.
  4. A Stakeholder Action Kit

ADEA are now reviewing and updating these resources to ensure ongoing access to high quality and up-to-date resources.

As part of the review ADEA are seeking feedback on all resources, and more generally on diabetes management during natural disasters from a wide range of stakeholders, including people with diabetes, Credentialled Diabetes Educators, emergency services and management organisations, peak health organisations, and others.

If you would like to provide feedback, please click on the links above to access the resources under review and submit your feedback via this Survey Monkey form by Monday 22 March 2021.

If you require support or would prefer to provide your feedback in a different way, please contact Jen Lewis at Jennifer.lewis@adea.com.au or call (02) 6173 1016.
