We're into Day 3 of National Diabetes Week and Australians living with diabetes are being asked to “Live Out Loud” and share what they wish others understood about the challenges of dealing with diabetes. Listening matters. Reducing stigma matters. But in the middle of a rapidly worsening national health crisis, conversation really doesn't become a substitute for action.
Australia doesn't simply have an awareness problem. We have a prevention problem, an environment problem and, increasingly, a political-will problem.
In our latest article, we ask the uncomfortable question: why as a country are we still prepared to fund the consequences of type 2 diabetes while hesitating to confront the systems helping to drive it?
Talk is cheap. Meaningful prevention requires change.
Lets get a conversation going ! What are your thoughts ?
Join the dialogue this National Diabetes Week and share your story to inspire change in the diabetes conversation.
