Position Statements
The centre has been involved in the development of three position statements, published by Diabetes Australia.
Diabetes Australia language position statement
Diabetes Australia encourages journalists and others writing about diabetes for the general public to reflect on the language they use and its power to encourage or discourage people living with diabetes.
Diabetes Australia believes optimal communication increases the motivation, health and well-being of people with diabetes; furthermore, that careless or negative language can be de-motivating, is often inaccurate, and can be harmful.
Diabetes Australia Type 2 diabetes remission statement
Diabetes Australia has developed a position statement on diabetes remission to help people with diabetes and health professionals make informed choices.
The aim of this position statement is to provide up-to-date, practical advice and information to people with diabetes and the community about possible remission of type 2 diabetes. It is not intended to be a scientific or fully detailed report for health professionals.
Diabetes Australia glucose self-monitoring statement
Diabetes Australia’s position statement Glucose self-monitoring in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes is designed to help make it easier for Australians living with diabetes to self-monitor their glucose levels and better self-manage their condition.
The position statement is designed to give people the information they need to decide the type of glucose monitoring that is right for them. It explains the technologies available, the pros and cons and the evidence for each.
