It's National Diabetes Week, and this year, the focus is on prevention - because it matters at every stage of the journey. Whether it’s preventing type 2 diabetes or preventing complications for people living with all types of diabetes, awareness and action make a difference. To support National Diabetes Week, we are bringing you a special re-release of one of our earlier episodes, What to Eat When You Have Diabetes, featuring expert insights from Dr Robin Barnes and Laureate Professor Claire Collins.
Dr Robyn Barnes is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Credentialled Diabetes Educator with 25 years of clinical experience, and 19 years specialising in diabetes. She completed her PhD at the University of Newcastle while working as a clinical dietitian in diabetes and has been convenor of the NSW Dietitians Australian Diabetes Interest Group for 15 years. This episode is all about dietary recommendations for good health for people living with all kinds of diabetes, from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes to Gestational Diabetes!
This year, Diabetes Australia is offering free health checks at over 300 Priceline pharmacies across the country. These quick self-service checks help people understand their risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other metabolic conditions. If you haven't already, check out your local pharmacy and take five minutes to know your numbers. Small, sustainable changes can lead to big health improvements. More information here.
