During March we invited you to get on-board and support Dine In For Diabetes®. This worthwhile and fun event helped raise awareness and funds for the FREE counselling services available to family and friends of people living with diabetes. If you have not donated yet the donations portal is still open for the next month so you can hop on and make a donation even if you did not hold an event. All donations are tax-deductible and a receipt will be automatically sent to you.
Thank you to all who got involved, hosted an event and shared the celebration of your relationship with food with us online.
Diabetes Counselling Online is the only national charity offering free e-counselling and diabetes education to all people living with diabetes and their families. Did you know that people with diabetes suffer twice the rates of depression and reduced wellbeing? Many people are confused and distressed by their relationship with food and the dietary changes needed to have a healthy body. In today’s busy world fewer of us seem to take time to cook, to share healthy food with family and friends, and look after our body and our minds.
With 275 people diagnosed per day with diabetes in Australia alone, most people have a connection to diabetes in some way. All the money raised in the month of March for Dine In For Diabetes® will help us establish a 1300 counselling service as an extension of our existing online counselling services. Diabetes Counselling Online is a FREE counselling service, vital to the health and wellbeing of people living with diabetes.
We look forward to sharing this event with you again in 2014!
