Heart Health, Pre-Diabetes & Diabetes Type 2.

Heart disease is the single largest killer of Australians but in most cases be prevented.

Heart Health can be effected by:
  • Cholesterol levels 
  • Weight control
  • Blood pressure levels
  • Smoking
  • Family history
  • Exercise levels

Genetics can play a strong role in heart disease and stroke but knowing how to manage your diet and exercise can reduce their impact.


Diabetes is a serious condition which can effect the whole body, it doesn’t discriminate and can effect anyone but tends to run in families. It used to only effect older Australians but now we are seeing more teenagers, and people in their 30-50yrs with the condition.

​Diabetes:
  • Is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults
  • Is a leading cause of kidney failure and dialysis
  • Increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke by up to four times
  • Is a major cause of limb amputations
  • Affects mental health as well as physical health. Depression, anxiety and distress occur in more than 30% of all people with diabetes.
  • Approximately 2 million Australians are at risk of type 2 Diabetes. 
  • Risk is increased by low levels of exercise, excess “tummy fat”,  family history and insulin resistance. Complications can be serious if blood sugar levels are not controlled.

Insulin resistance is present 10-40years before the loss of insulin secretion occurs, which leads to the development of Impaired Glucose Tolerance (Pre-Diabetes) and then Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes Common Symptoms include:
  • Being more thirsty than usual
  • Passing more urine
  • Feeling tired and lethargic
  • Always hungry
  • Having cuts that heal slowly
  • Itching, skin infections
  • Blurred vision
  • Gradually putting on weight (type 2)
  • Mood swings
  • Headaches
  • Feeling dizzy
  • Leg cramps


Diabetes Risk
  • One parent with type 2 diabetes          = 2 x risk of developing type 2 diabetes
  • Both parents with diabetes                   = 6 x risk of developing type 2 diabetes
  • Brother or sister with type 2 diabetes = 4 x risk of developing type 2 diabetes
