Diabetes New Zealand’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, it 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.

Through our programme Live Brave Mana Ora in the Otago region we help families by providing vital resources, education, and community connection. With your support, we can continue to support via events and camps to empower young people living with type 1 diabetes.

You can support in a number of ways.
