Check today for a healthier tomorrow during National Diabetes Week (13-19 July). Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia, and 125,000 Victorians have undiagnosed diabetes. If you have a relative with type 1 diabetes, access the Type1Screen program https://type1screen.org to determine your risk. If you are at risk of type 2 diabetes, use the AUSDRISK TOOL https://lifeprogram.org.au/learn-about-life/
Or have a chat with your doctor. If you live with diabetes, proactive health checks for eyes, feet, blood pressure and kidneys can reduce your risk of long-term complications.
