DIABETES – IT’S STILL WITH US & IT’S NOT GOING AWAY!!

by Dr John Tickell – the ‘Wellness Doctor’ – Issue 3 – BEST HEALTH newsletter

Welcome to my latest edition of BEST HEALTH newsletter,

DIABETES – IT’S AN EPIDEMIC AND GETTING WORSE!

Australians need to be aware of the ongoing risks which individuals and family members face, if Health and Wellness ideals are not front of mind – Diabetes is not going away!

The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) are to be congratulated for the Working Party which delivered the following POSITION STATEMENT together with Authorities, including the ADS, Dieticians Society,

PSA, Pharmaceutical Society, ESSA, Exercise Sports Science Australia .

“ONE in SIX Australian adults over the age of 26 have pre-Diabetes”

– that means there are more than TWO MILLION Australians who are highly likely PRE-DIABETIC and have no idea they are in line to suffer with Diabetes and the scary complications.

At least 30% of pre-diabetics will become diagnosed with full blown diabetes in the near future and up to 70% of these people newly ‘Living with Diabetes ‘ will develop complications which include Heart attacks, lower limb Amputations, Blindness and Kidney failure requiring regular dialysis – the younger diabetes happens, usually the more aggressive it can be, leading to earlier dangerous complications.”

This coming 12 months, there will be at least another 120,000 Australians newly diagnosed with Diabetes –

A NEW DIABETIC EVERY FIVE MINUTES

300 every day

yes, that’s 10 THOUSAND a month !

These people all need essential care – and ADEA is doing amazing work in this space, with fully credentialed educators advising and managing.

Let it be for CDEs !

Do you think it’s a good idea that these 2 million Aussies with PRE-Diabetes be made aware they have this condition so it can be explained to them

and they can receive therapy which can prevent the progress to a diabetes diagnosis in more than 50% of cases?

– a simple blood sugar finger prick test is what we all deserve –

– a starting point to get this ball rolling –

and 💥STOP this landslide happening, which is happening 💥NOW

* Our Government offers us FREE Mammograms to detect early breast cancer

*Our Government offers men PSA blood tests to detect early prostate cancer

* Our Government offers us FREE “poop” occult blood testing to detect

early bowel/colon cancer

Deaths of Australians, last 12 months from breast cancer = approx 3,200

Deaths of Australians, last 12 months from prostate cancer = approx 3,500 TOTAL of Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer deaths = approx 6,700

Deaths from Diabetes and Complications, last 12 months = approx 21,900

💥 Diabetes and complication deaths in Australia are THREE TIMES MORE

than the combined Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer death numbers !! Why ? “ Diabetes – the fastest growing Health Epidemic in human history “
