Diabetes Risk Assessment
Type 2 diabetes is one of the largest contributors to ill health in Australia. In short, type 2 diabetes accounts for 92% of diabetes cases. Diabetes is associated with complications. For example, increased risk of cardiovascular, eye and kidney disease.
The incidence of type 2 diabetes has more than doubled in the last 15 years.
Lifestyle risk factors can lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes. In particular, being overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet can be prevented through lifestyle modification. International evidence has shown that early lifestyle interventions in high-risk patients can reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes by up to 58%.

The diabetes evaluation will be provided with the assistance of our chronic disease nurse with your general practitioner.
