To raise awareness and to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of everyday Australians affected by diabetes, the second annual Sweet Talk Awards, proudly sponsored by Accu-Chek and Diabetic Living, will launch on Wednesday 11th April by entertainment legend Marcia Hines and celebrity chef Peter Howard.

The Sweet Talk Awards encourages people across the country to tell their success story by nominating themselves, their family members or friends and share their experience of how they have overcome the challenges of living with diabetes.
A ‘Sweet Talk’ success story could be anything where a person with diabetes has achieved success whether at work, school or in their personal life. Whether taking part in a special event or adventure, topping the class at school, gaining a promotion at work, getting married, having a baby or successfully getting through a really difficult or challenging day while managing your blood glucose levels well – we want to hear it!
Nominees are asked to submit an account of how they have achieved success and overcome their diabetes in no more than 200 words. Whether a minor or major accomplishment, any and all success stories will be welcomed.
