Diabetes impact on Australia


Diabetes: the silent pandemic and its impact on Australia is a new report by the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute which investigates why growing numbers of Australians are diagnosed with this chronic disorder each year.
As there is currently no cure for diabetes, the condition requires lifelong management.  People with diabetes frequently also require treatment to lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. However, despite reaching epidemic levels globally, type 2 diabetes remains under-reported, in part because often people do not realise they have it until they develop complications.
