One person develops diabetes in Australia every five minutes, that’s 280 every day. Of the 1.8 million Aussies living with diabetes, around 700,000 of them also experience mental or emotional health challenges. Often there is a stigma associated with diabetes, but no one chooses to have diabetes and it can be life-threatening.
It’s time to rethink how we view diabetes – we need to support and empower people to seek help and take action if they think they may have diabetes.
There are many factors that contribute to a person’s risk of developing diabetes, but if you’re concerned about your health, make an appointment with your doctor today.
