National Diabetes Week 2026: Unite in the Fight for Fair Access to Diabetes Technology

National Diabetes Week 2026

National Diabetes Week is Diabetes Australia's flagship annual awareness campaign, highlighting the impact diabetes has on individuals, families and Australia's healthcare system while encouraging greater understanding and support.

Running from 12 to 18 July 2026, this year's campaign focuses on improving access to diabetes technology and ensuring that all Australians living with diabetes have the tools they need to live healthier, safer and more independent lives.

At Diabetes Australia, the vision is for a future where diabetes can do no harm. Access to life-saving technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and insulin pumps can dramatically improve quality of life, yet many Australians still face barriers to obtaining them.

Unite in the Fight for Diabetes Technology

The 2026 theme, **Unite in the Fight for Diabetes Tech**, calls for equitable access to essential diabetes technology regardless of where people live, their age or their circumstances.

While many Australians benefit from advances in diabetes management, others continue to miss out on technologies that help improve blood glucose control, reduce complications and provide greater peace of mind for individuals and their families.

National Diabetes Week encourages everyone to learn more about the campaign, explore this year's resources and discover how they can help advocate for fairer access to diabetes technology across Australia.
