Welcome to the ‘Talking about diabetes’ program, a series of diabetes education videos. This series of short videos was developed to update or refresh diabetes knowledge for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce; health workers, practitioners and other professionals. The videos are designed to support the delivery of basic diabetes education to community living with or at risk of diabetes using a visual educational tool such as Feltman® and Feltmum®. Feltman® and Feltmum® are registered trademarks of the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) and Diabetes Victoria.
