ATSI People Resources
Pictorial Guides
These guides provide easy-to-follow advice on how to best manage
diabetes through healthy eating, exercise, foot care and increased
awareness of diabetes. The guides were developed by Diabetes
Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled health
organisation (VACCHO). We would like to thank the Aboriginal people
who appear in these booklets and acknowledge Sharon Thorpe and
Jennifer Brown for their help in the production of these booklets.
Through funding provided by the National Diabetes Services Scheme,
Diabetes Queensland has limited numbers of these guides available
for distribution.
Gestational Diabetes
Booklets
These booklets provide easy-to-follow information on gestational
diabetes. Topics covered in the booklets are How Your Body Works;
Gestational Diabetes; Eating for Gestational Diabetes; Starting
Insulin Injections; and After the Baby is Born. The set of 5
booklets was developed by the Queensland Government as part of the
CPIC Innovation Project: Diabetes in Pregnancy. Queensland Health
has granted Diabetes Queensland permission to reproduce and
distribute this resource. Diabetes Queensland acknowledges the work
of Queensland Health staff from the Cairns Diabetes Centre and the
Diabetes in Pregnancy Innovation Project team who were involved in
the development of the original resource. Through funding provided
by the National Diabetes Services Scheme, Diabetes Queensland has
limited numbers of these booklets available for distribution. PDF
versions have also been included for you to print.

service waiting areas and consulting rooms to raise awareness about

Islander people living with diabetes but who have not yet
registered.
