The Diabetic Association of Australia was formed in 1938 and is Australia's oldest and largest charity organisation assisting those living with and at risk of diabetes, and their carers. In 1956 the Diabetes Federation of Australia was formed and New South Wales changed its name to the Diabetic Association of NSW (later Diabetes Australia - NSW). In 2009 Diabetes Australia NSW resigned from the national federation and in 2010 changed its name to Australian Diabetes Council. It was re-admitted as a member of Diabetes Australia in April 2014 and is now known as Diabetes NSW. Diabetes NSW is the peak consumer body for diabetes in New South Wales and is the NSW offshoot of the first diabetes organisation in Australia and is the third oldest diabetes association in the world. The organisation provides support and services to people living with and at risk of diabetes, their families, carers, friends and allied health professionals in New South Wales. Diabetes NSW has 185,000 members in New South Wales. == Overview == Diabetes NSW operates under the proviso that ‘Diabetes can no longer be solved by medical intervention alone’. Via its CLEAR (Challenge, Listen, Educate, Advocate and fund Research) strategy, ADC assists members with managing the condition and informs the community about diabetes and its complications. It does this by ensuring decisions in areas of policy, research, delivery of services and programs are made in the best interest of those living with and at risk of diabetes. 2013 marked the 75th Anniversary for Diabetes NSW. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Diabetes Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
