This week, D.T.R.G is celebrating . The theme of this years National Diabetes Week is "Check today for a healthier tomorrow".

Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. Almost 400,000 Victorians live with diabetes – enough people to fill the MCG four times over. A further 125,000 have undiagnosed diabetes.

For people living with diabetes, regular health checks for eyes, feet, blood pressure and kidneys can reduce the risk of long-term complications.

For people at risk of type 2 diabetes, Diabetes Victoria recommends the AUSDRISK tool or a chat with your doctor. If you have a relative with type 1 diabetes, you can access the national Type1Screen program for an antibody test to determine your risk of developing type 1.

Knowing your risk is the first step to living well.
