Did you know? 🤔

Around 700,000 Australians aged 65 and over are living with type 2 diabetes.

As Australia’s population ages, access to practical diabetes education, preventive health initiatives, and continuous support is more critical than ever.

Managing diabetes later in life often means balancing multiple aspects of health and wellbeing from tailored nutrition and physical activity to medication management and routine health checks.

At Diabetes Expo 2026, Diabetes Victoria is bringing together health professionals, support networks, and industry leaders to deliver trusted information, practical resources, and innovations that empower our community to live well at every stage of life.
