Diet Pty Ltd is helping Diabetes Australia,
the charity for people with diabetes.
Find
out if YOU are at risk:
Too
many people develop life-threatening complications
because their diabetes is diagnosed too
late. It is estimated that there are more
than a million people in Australia who have
the condition - and don't know it.
• If
you answer 'YES' to any of the questions
below,
you are at risk of diabetes •
1.
Family
Do
you have a parent, brother or sister with
diabetes? The closer the relative with diabetes,
the greater your risk.
2.
Age and ethnicity
Are
you Caucasian and over 40, or African-Caribbean
or South Asian and over 25? The older
you
are, the greater the risk of your having
Type 2 diabetes. People of African-Caribbean
or South Asian origin are 3 to 5 times
more
likely to have diabetes.
3.
Weight
Are
you overweight or inactive? Over 80% of
people with Type 2 diabetes are overweight.
4.
Waist size
Is
your waist measurement over 35in/89cm (female)
or 40in/101cm (male)? Increased waist measurement
increases risk.
5.
Heart disease
Do
you have a history of heart disease or high
blood pressure?
6.
Pregnancy
Have
you given birth to a larger baby - over
4kg/8.8lb?
--------
If
you have answered yes to Q1 and 2, plus
either 3, 4, 5 or 6, then you are at INCREASED
risk of diabetes.
If
so, consider discussing the risk of
diabetes
with your GP or, for further information
call us on 1300 725 056.
--------
At
present there is no cure for neither Type
I or Type II diabetes. Research for a cure
and prevention strategies for the disease
continues.
Cambridge Diet Pty Ltd would like to help
with the prevention of people developing
Type II diabetes by helping those who are
overweight lose those extra kilos, therefore
reducing their BMI and taking them out of
a high risk catagory of further developing
the disease.
Cambridge Diet Pty Ltd is helping Diabetes
Australia with funding towards their research,
development and education that is being
conducted to help all Australians who
have
diabetes. To help support Diabetes Australia,
Cambridge Diet Pty Ltd is donating $1
from
every box of Cambridge SoyaSlim
to Diabetes Australia.
You
too can help this worthy cause and in doing
so reduce your risk of becoming a statistic.
