Diabetes Awareness: What You Should Know About Risk Factors 💉🩺
Diabetes is one of the most common health conditions in Australia—but with the right awareness and lifestyle choices, it can often be prevented or managed effectively.
Here are some of the key risk factors to be aware of:
🔹 Family history of diabetes
🔹 Being overweight or physically inactive
🔹 High blood pressure or cholesterol levels
🔹 Unhealthy diet (high in sugar or processed foods)
🔹 Being over the age of 40
🔹 Having had gestational diabetes during pregnancy
You may not notice symptoms early on, which is why regular check-ups are so important. Early detection allows for better management and reduces the risk of complications.
