Diabetes Projects Trust

"He aha te kai o te Rangitira? He Korero, he korero, he korero.
What is the food of the leader? It is knowledge, it is communication."

Diabetes has a huge impact on the individual and those around them. It is increasingly recognised that community involvement is vital to prevent the development of diabetes, manage existing diabetes in the best possible way, and prevent the serious potential consequences of diabetes.

The Diabetes Projects Trust was originally set up in the early 1990’s and called the 'South Auckland Diabetes Project'.

The Diabetes Projects Trust "emphasises partnership with the community to achieve better health for present and for future generations" and is led by a Trust Board from a range of backgrounds.
