Our Diabetes Tech 101 session at the Mini Diabetes & Health Expo is designed to help you understand the different options available in Australia - without the overwhelm or a sales pitch.

🎤 Teresa will walk us through the current diabetes tech landscape, including: Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, their key features, benefits and differences between devices.

🎤 Then Tayla - who has personally used all of the available diabetes tech options - will share her real-life experiences with each system, including what worked well, what was challenging, and practical insights you won’t find in a brochure.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, considering a change in technology, or just curious about your options, this session is a fantastic way to get clear, practical information and hear from someone with lived experience.

While education is important, so is connection 🫶
