Date Time Time to get back on track with diabetes The National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) has launched a new campaign to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with type 2 diabetes to reengage with their diabetes healthcare teams and their diabetes management in 2021. Diabetes Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Manager Chris Lee said the new campaign, Back on Track, was designed to encourage people to reconnect with their diabetes management after the significant disruptions caused by COVID-19. The campaign is funded through the National Diabetes Services Scheme, an Australian Government initiative administered by Diabetes Australia. “COVID-19 has been incredibly difficult, and it has had a major impact on the lives of all Australians, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with type 2 diabetes who are at a much higher risk of developing severe complications from the virus,” Mr Lee said.
