- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
It’s well known that diabetes is a huge health issue in New Zealand - nearly a quarter of a million Kiwis have diabetes and at least 50 more are diagnosed every day. But what is less well known is that anyone can get diabetes and if it’s not properly managed, the consequences can be extremely serious. This is one of the key messages that Diabetes New Zealand wants people to take on board during Diabetes Awareness Week from 11 -17 November.
According to Diabetes New Zealand President Chris Baty, careful management, including taking any prescribed medication as instructed, eating healthily and having regular physical activity, is the key to living well for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes.
