What is 'other' diabetes?

The three main types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. But there are less-common types of diabetes too, and these are often referred to as other diabetes.

These types of diabetes can result from a range of different health conditions or circumstances.

Managing other diabetes

There is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to managing diabetes. The management of diabetes will be determined by your type of other diabetes.

You can live well with other diabetes under the guidance of your doctor and diabetes educator, with the help of a healthy eating plan and regular physical activity, and by following the treatment plan developed by your doctor.

Education and access to a multidisciplinary support team are vital in successfully managing other diabetes. 

Partnering with experienced professionals ensures you receive personalised guidance, up-to-date resources and the comprehensive care needed to maintain long-term health and well-being.

Managing other diabetes is a team effort. Involve your family, friends and health professionals.
