☀️ Be SunSmart This Summer!

New Zealand has some of the strongest UV levels in the world, so it’s important to protect your skin every day — even when it’s cloudy.

Here’s how to keep yourself and your whānau safe in the sun:
👕 Slip on protective clothing
🧴 Slop on broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen — and reapply every 2 hours
👒 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
🕶️ Wrap on sunglasses
🌤️ Seek shade during peak UV hours (10am–4pm)

It only takes a few minutes to stay protected — but it could save your skin in the long run. 💙

5️⃣ Healthy Eating Tip

🥗 Eat Smart for Steady Energy
Balanced meals with whole grains, lean proteins, veggies, and healthy fats help keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day.
Avoid skipping meals — regular eating keeps your energy even.

If you’re unsure about food choices, our team can connect you with a dietitian for personalised advice.

💙 World Diabetes Day | Friday 14 November 2025

Today we recognise World Diabetes Day, raising awareness about one of the most common long-term conditions in Aotearoa.

This year’s theme is “Diabetes and Wellbeing”

🩸 Around 1 in 20 New Zealanders live with diabetes — and many more are at risk without realising it.

Here’s how you can take charge of your health:
✅ Get your blood sugar checked regularly
✅ Maintain a healthy diet and stay active
✅ Watch for early warning signs — constant thirst, tiredness, or frequent urination
✅ If you have a family history of diabetes, talk to your GP about prevention

Small steps can make a big difference. Together, we can raise awareness and support those living with diabetes. 💙

4️⃣ Supporting Whānau with Diabetes

💙 You Don’t Have to Manage it Alone

If someone in your whānau lives with diabetes, your support makes all the difference.
✅ Encourage healthy meals and shared activities
✅ Be understanding — managing diabetes can be overwhelming
✅ Remind them to check their glucose and attend appointments

Together, we can make living with diabetes easier. 🌿

💛 World Kindness Day | Thursday 13 November

Today we’re celebrating the power of kindness — the small gestures that make a big difference. 🌿

Kindness costs nothing, but its impact can be life-changing. Whether it’s:
💬 Offering a kind word
☕ Buying someone a coffee
😊 Smiling at a stranger
💙 Checking in on a friend or whānau member

These simple acts can lift spirits and strengthen our community.

At Kauri HealthCare, we see kindness in action every day — from our patients, our staff, and our wider community. Let’s keep it going, today and always. 💛

3️⃣ Small Steps, Big Difference

🚶‍♀️ Move a Little, Gain a Lot
Regular movement helps regulate blood sugar levels, boosts energy, and supports overall wellbeing — especially for those living with diabetes.

🕒 Aim for 30 minutes a day — walk, swim, dance, garden, or do something you love.
Small, consistent steps make a big difference.

2️⃣ Type 1 vs Type 2

⚖️ What’s the Difference?

➡️ Type 1 Diabetes – an autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin. Usually diagnosed in children and young adults.

➡️ Type 2 Diabetes – develops over time when the body can’t use insulin properly. Often linked to lifestyle factors, but genetics play a role too.

Both types can be managed with the right care, support, and monitoring. 💙

Talk to your GP if you have concerns about your risk or symptoms.
