Diabetes Management Training for NDIS Workers
Why Diabetes Training is Important
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting people with disability and older Australians. Poorly managed diabetes can result in severe health risks including hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis, and long-term complications.
Support workers play a vital role in monitoring symptoms, assisting with diet and lifestyle, and responding to emergencies. That’s why Diabetes Management training is a must-have skill for anyone working in the care sector.
What Workers Learn in Diabetes Management Training
This course teaches workers how to:
Recognise signs and symptoms of low and high blood sugar
Support participants with diabetes-friendly meal planning
Monitor blood glucose levels safely and accurately
Respond to diabetic emergencies confidently
Work in partnership with healthcare professionals
Benefits for Support Workers
