We join Diabetes Australia in shining a light on the importance of 'prevention' — because it matters at every stage of the journey.

Type 2 diabetes can be prevented, and it’s more achievable than you might think. Up to 58% of cases can be prevented or delayed through simple lifestyle changes.

For those already living with diabetes, support and connection are key. Staying connected with your healthcare team and accessing the right support, such as your GP, can make all the difference in managing your health confidently and effectively.

Discover resources available to you at www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/ndw, or have a chat with your GP. Visit elthamridge.ipn.com.au to book an appointment.
