40 years of the Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA): Share your best moments

This year marks the 40th anniversary of ADEA and they are celebrating with a special history project. Why not take a walk down memory lane and remember all the events, achievements and especially the people who defined the last four decades of diabetes education in Australia.

If you have memories, photos or videos that you would like to share, please send them to communications@adea.com.au.
