Type II Diabetes is a chronic disease requiring management from a multidisciplinary team.
Management of Type II Diabetes is fundamental to prevent further development of chronic diseases such as Chronic Heart Disease (CHD), vascular problems and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). GP's and practice nurses are key professionals in the management of Type II Diabetes within the community.
The SouthEast Primary HealthCare Network supports General Practice to improve clinical care for patients with Diabetes by facilitating education, resources and collaboration with other key organizations and Allied Health Professionals.

DIABETES MANAGEMENT IN GENERAL PRACTICE
SouthEast Primary HealthCare Network has developed and delivered a number of projects and resources in the past regarding diabetes management in general practice. We would like to assess the need for further support in diabetes management. SPHN’s aim now is to target what the General Practitioners, practice nurses and staff require to assist them to continue to improve management of their diabetes patients.
Please Click Here to complete the questionnaire and fax to SPHN so that we can adapt our programs to suit what is needed by you in the practice.
If you have any questions please call Susan Cederblad on 3290 3733 or email scederblad@sphn.org.au

Australian Diabetes Society
The Australian Diabetes Society is the peak medical and scientific body in Australia working towards improving the care and outcomes of people with diabetes. It is an incorporated association and is made up of its members. The Society was formally established at a meeting held at the Clunies Ross Centre in Melbourne on 9 October 1973 in conjunction with the Scientific Meeting of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. In a time of rapid development in research in diabetes in Australia, it was agreed by senior leaders in the field, that a forum was needed for professionals interested in diabetes as diabetes representation in other endocrine based meetings was as little as 10%. The Society was formed to include a membership open to any medical graduate or scientist with a declared interest in diabetes, and subsequently to also include any individual with a primary role in professional diabetes care. The membership requirements remain the same today. The aims or ‘objects’ of the Society are to enhance the welfare of individuals who have diabetes mellitus, including: •To promote among members of the medical profession, scientists and others the free exchange of knowledge with respect to diabetes mellitus •To develop in association with Diabetes Australia and other interested bodies, education methods designed to give those who have diabetes mellitus a better understanding of their condition •To improve standards of diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus •To disseminate accurate information about diabetes mellitus •To promote research related to diabetes mellitus by individuals, hospitals, clinics, universities and other institutions and organisations •To be responsible for statements relating to the professional and research aspects of diabetes mellitus (both medical and scientific) •To take such other measures and encourage such service as will enhance the welfare of individuals having diabetes mellitus.
