24.01.2022 Gestational diabetes is now the fastest-growing type of diabetes in Australia. The number of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes has more than doubled over the last 10 years alone. Stopping this trend is an important part of reducing the number of people who develop type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Australia, along with the Australian Diabetes Society, the Australian Diabetes Educators Association, and the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society, recently developed a posit...ion statement outlining what needs to be done to help women lower their risk of developing gestational diabetes and to provide appropriate support if they develop the condition. Providing women with the support they need to stay healthy pre, during and post-pregnancy will help many women address lifestyle-related risk factors and reduce the number of women developing the condition. You can call and talk to us about our telephone health coaching program for women after gestational diabetes on 6215 9000. Read the position statement here: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/news/15785

24.01.2022 Diabetes distress is the term used to refer to the emotional burden of living with and managing diabetes. It can include: Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of living with diabetes Concerned that you are failing with your diabetes management Worrying about your risk of diabetes-related complications... Feeling frustrated that you cant predict or control diabetes from one day to the next. If severe diabetes distress isnt managed, it can get worse over time and it can lead to diabetes burnout. Diabetes burnout occurs when a person feels emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed by the demands of their diabetes. They try to cope with this by giving up on taking care of their diabetes. People may be particularly vulnerable to experiencing diabetes burnout due to the impact COVID-19 has had on our daily routines. If you believe you or a loved one is experiencing (or heading towards) diabetes burnout, reach out for support. You are not alone and there is help available. https://www.ndss.com.au//fin/diabetes-distress-fact-sheet/ If you would like to speak to someone, you can call and talk to us on 6215 9000.

22.01.2022 A world-first discovery, proudly supported by Diabetes Australia, has identified a protein in the liver that could lead to a new once-a-week treatment for people with type 2 diabetes. The study, lead by researchers at the University of Melbourne, found that the SMOC1 protein, which is naturally produced by the liver, can help reduce blood glucose levels. Researchers discovered that SMOC1 was produced by the liver in response to high blood glucose levels and wondered whether... it might be able to be used to manage blood glucose levels. This turned out to be correct. Senior researcher Professor Matthew Watt, whose research was funded by the Diabetes Australia Research Program said: We anticipate, based on animal studies, that SMOC1 would be effective in people with newly diagnosed and advanced type 2 diabetes. The next step is to take this knowledge and turn it into a treatment. The Diabetes Australia Research Program was established in 1987 to support and develop diabetes-related research across Australia. The program provides funding towards the prevention, management and cure of all types of diabetes, as well as enabling and fostering young and up-and-coming diabetes researchers. Visit www.diabetestas.org.au to donate to research - today. Every year Diabetes Tasmania donates to the Diabetes Australia Research Program, to help with this kind of ground breaking research.

22.01.2022 Today marks an important date for our friends at The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes (ACBRD). They are celebrating the Centres 10 year anniversary! In that time the ACBRD has helped change the way people think about the emotional and mental health impacts of living with diabetes, including shining a light on diabetes-related stigma and, together with Diabetes Australia and the state and territory organisations, highlighting how language matters when ta...lking about diabetes. Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your feet, eyes, kidneys and all of the other things people do to stay on top of their diabetes. The ACBRD is a world leader at what they do and its research changes lives for the better. On behalf of Diabetes Tasmania thank you ACBRD for your important work. Heres to another decade of groundbreaking research that helps improve the lives of people with diabetes. Check out this short video below - 10 years in 5 minutes of the ACBRD. https://videos.files.wordpress.com//acbrd-10-years-2020_hd You can also find out more about the ACBRD on their website: https://acbrd.org.au/

19.01.2022 | Womens Health Week 2020 | Periods, menstruation, crimson tide, aunt flow ... you get the picture. Regardless of what you call it, the majority of women are all too familiar with this natural process. ... Unfortunately, what doesnt get talked about often enough is how someones period can be impacted by diabetes. A few days before your period starts, you may notice that your blood glucose levels are higher (maybe even much higher) than usual. You have estrogen and progesterone to thank for this. In general, the balance of these hormones prior to menstruation increases insulin resistance, although some women notice the opposite effect: increased insulin sensitivity. If you have Type 1 diabetes, you may notice that your periods last longer and your flow is heavier than women who dont have diabetes. Everyone is different, so if you are experiencing challenges associated with your period and diabetes, its best to speak to a trusted healthcare professional. #WomensHealthWeek2020 #womenshealth

16.01.2022 In the next ten years, around 500,000 Australian Mums are expected to be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Whats causing this? There are a number of reasons including Australias increasing diversity, the age of women falling pregnant and lifestyle factors. Some of these things cant be controlled, but there are ways we can help people reduce their risk of developing GDM. ... Eating well and getting regular physical activity before and during pregnancy and having regular check-ins with your healthcare team are very important. So is being able to access the support you need when you need it. Thats why Australia needs to do more to support women to be as healthy as possible, before, during and after pregnancy. One thing we can do here at Diabetes Tasmania is offer our COACH Program for women after gestational diabetes. It is a FREE telephone health coaching program - to help you live well after GDM and lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Call and talk to us now, on 6215 9000.

12.01.2022 Did you know every year, more than 700 Tasmanian women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes? And did you know that women who have had gestational diabetes have a 50% chance of developing type 2 diabetes within 10-20 years? This is because many of the risk factors for gestational diabetes are the same as the risk factors for type 2 diabetes. ... While some risk factors cant be changed - like family history, cultural background or age lifestyle risk factors can often be improved. Women who adopt healthier eating habits, become more physically active and manage their body weight can reduce their risk of future type 2 diabetes and even prevent it. Diabetes Tasmania can help you to improve your health and reduce your risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Visit our website or call us on 6215 9000 to find out more.

12.01.2022 Diabetes Tasmania offers The COACH Program for women after gestational diabetes (GDM), a free telephone health coaching program. Read below for Lyndals experience ... When I initially learnt I had gestational diabetes I was devastated. I felt I had let myself, and my baby, down... The silver lining was that through healthy eating and keeping active I managed my blood glucose levels, and ended both of my pregnancies at a much healthier level than pre-pregnancy. ... After my second child some of my unhealthy habits crept back in, so I was very excited to become part of the COACH program. Setting goals with my coach within an open and non-judgmental environment helped for these to be achievable. Our monthly phone calls really helped me to remain focused and accountable and continue building knowledge and amending my goals as my health improved. I was so pleased with the health outcomes from my time in the program and how these converted into increased energy and confidence. A great outcome for all of our family! Im so grateful to my coach and the broader program for this wonderful experience. Thank you. Thank you for your feedback Lyndal, its great to hear first hand how our programs can help not only the participant but the whole family. If you or someone you know could benefit from The COACH Program for women after gestational diabetes, call us now on 6215 9000.
