The IDF KiDS Project is a much-needed and valuable resource that can be used internationally. Australia is a multicultural society where English is often a second language for young people diagnosed and living with diabetes. As a country, we also face increasing childhood obesity and genetic risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes and MODY.

The multilingual resources, their accessible voice and tone aimed at young people and families, and consistency and quality of messaging provide a valuable strategy towards battling diabetes: education.

I am a great supporter of this programme and look forward to its expansion and ongoing success.
