The holiday season often brings more kai, sweeter treats, and busy schedules, which can make it easy to forget about your diabetes care.

Before Christmas arrives, take a moment to check in with your hauora:
Check your blood sugar 🩸
Review your plan 📊
Keep your meds and supplies handy 💊 Make sure you have enough to take you through the holiday break.
Stay hydrated 💧

And if you’re unsure, need a hand, or want more information, check in with our nurses 🩺
We’re here to support you to stay well throughout the year - not just at Christmas. All of our services are free and available for everyone who lives in the rohe of Tuwharetoa.

What would you tell other men this month?

In the final episode of our Men’s Health series, our tane share powerful, honest messages for other men - reminders to speak up, get checked, look after their hauora, reach out when times get tough, and stay connected to the people who matter.

Sometimes the message you give someone else is the one you also need to hear.

When was the last time you took a moment to check in with yourself?

In Episode 2 of our Men's Health series, we're diving into the importance of slowing down, listening to ourselves, and acknowledging when our well-being needs a little attention.

Remember, checking in isn't a sign of weakness; it's actually a powerful show of strength and self-awareness and a vital act of self-care.

This korero encourages all of our tane to pause, reflect, and make space for their own hauora. Let's make sure we're looking after ourselves too!
