In support of World Diabetes Day, we recently partnered with Diabetes Australia for two activities in the Logan region.

For the first event we hosted Diabetes Australia and local community members living with type 2 diabetes, for a roundtable discussion on access to diabetes technology supports. The group had a robust and insightful discussion. These roundtable events were held across Australia, advocating for better access to technology, including continuous glucose monitoring for people with type 2 diabetes.

The second event was an activation station providing free health checks, held in the Logan Hyperdome Shopping Centre. Diabetes Australia recently launched a free membership program called 'Diabetes YOUnited', which provides a space for peer support and information sharing for people across Australia living with diabetes. Logan Healthy Living’s Clinical Manager Denny went along to support the Diabetes Australia initiative and promote Logan Healthy Living to the local community.

World Movement Disorder Day is coming up in November.

This day aims to raise awareness for movement disorders so that people can seek essential specialized care earlier.

Movement disorders are neurological (nervous system and brain) conditions that primarily affect bodily motor control, disrupting an individual's life. This could include impacts on balance, involuntary movements, stiffness, changes to a person’s speech, problems with coordination, and difficulty with walking, talking or swallowing.

But movement disorders affect much more than movement, they can also impact behaviour, thinking, and mood, or have symptoms ranging from constipation to hallucinations and memory loss.

A wide variety of factors can cause movement disorders, including genetics, certain medicines (most commonly dopamine receptor blocking drugs such as antipsychotics and antiemetics), illegal drugs or large amounts of alcohol, low levels of certain vitamins, certain medical conditions, or head injuries.

Scroll through this post to learn about some of the most common movement disorders.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting the Chief Medical Officer of Queensland Health, Dr Catherine McDougall at UQ Health Care's Logan Healthy Living. She was able to see the program in action, discuss the work we’re doing for the community with our Clinical and Operations Manager Denny, and connect with participants to learn about the positive impact Logan Healthy Living has had on them.

Lisa, a participant at Logan Healthy Living shared her experience with Dr Catherine. “It has completely changed my life. I came here a year ago and I couldn’t walk without someone holding onto me. Look at me now!” said Lisa.

In response Catherine McDougall says, “You were beaming Lisa, and I could tell the [Logan Healthy Living] team share in your joy!”

Dr. Catherine described UQ Health Care's Logan Healthy Living as a great collaboration involving The University of Queensland, Health and Wellbeing Queensland, and Griffith University, which focuses on the prevention and management of chronic diseases while emphasizing real consumer empowerment.
