What is T2DM?
The term Diabetes can still strike fear into some people, with a vision of needles, and fainting and lollies or soft drink to revive them. With the occurrence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on the rise in Australia according to Diabetes Australia, it has been labelled the silent pandemic.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is the result of either insufficient insulin produced by the pancreas for the body’s needs, or the cells of the body being resistant to the insulin produced. This may be the result of genetics or lifestyle factors, or a combination of both. There is no cure for Diabetes, so a lifestyle management program is required to create balance. With the entire family needing to adjust, working with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator is the perfect solution.
When you are diagnosed with Diabetes, Type 1 or Type 2, Rise Above Diabetes Education Service (RADES) provides a support system to empower you to manage your lifestyle with as much ease and simplicity as possible. Health Practitioners committed to providing a superior standard of excellence for their Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetic patients also align themselves with Rise Above Diabetes Education Service to ensure they are offering the best support and service available.
