Youth Type 2 Diabetes Screening & Management Pathways
The Northern Territory (NT) Diabetes Clinical Network is the NT Department of Health’s clinical network established in February 2018. It provides a platform for NT clinicians, researchers, consumers and policy makers to work collaboratively to improve the care and health outcomes of people who are at risk of developing diabetes and to minimise the risks of complications for those who are living with diabetes.
The following 3 documents have been produced by the NT Diabetes Clinical Network.
