Type 2 diabetes Australia places a burden on many individuals. 280 Australians develop diabetes every day – that is one person every 5 minutes. Untreated diabetes may result in complications such as heart disease, blindness, amputations, and kidney disease. Research has found that intensive early intervention results in a reduction of these complications. A proactive approach using the combination of medication management, diet therapy, and physical activity is crucial in managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
