Diabetes NZ’s mission Ensure every person living in Aotearoa New Zealand with diabetes or at risk of diabetes has equitable access to affordable, quality diabetes care and education, but we can’t do this without the help of generous, supportive and helpful Kiwis like you!

Type 1 Diabetes is a serious, life threatening, life-long condition. Generally diagnosed in childhood or early adolescence, T1D can pose significant challenges for young people and their families as they move to self-management for serious physical health risks, mental and emotional wellbeing stresses, financial pressure, and difficulty fitting condition management around their lives.

With your support, we are raising funds to empower young people living with type 1 diabetes and their families. All proceeds will directly support our Live Brave Mana Ora programme in the Otago region, helping us provide vital resources, education, and community connection.

You can support in a number of ways.
