Type 2 diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions throughout Australia. Diabetes is an incurable chronic disease which, when left undiagnosed, can be a killer.


Seven Tasmanians develop the disease every day. Are you at risk?


Although your likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes is closely linked to the type of lifestyle you have, there are additional factors such as your genetics that play a major role.


The type 2 diabetes risk assessment tool has been developed to help you to gauge your risk of developing the disease. It's free and all you have to do is download the brochure and fill it out.


Once you have done the test it's important that you visit your doctor to discuss your risks. The sooner type 2 diabetes is diagnosed the sooner proper management of the disease can take place, reducing the possibility of permanent damage to your body.
