The Bupa Diabetes Positive Health Guide provides adults with diabetes or the parents of children with diabetes with tools to manage the condition and improve wellbeing. It covers the two types of diabetes – type 1 and type 2.
The number of adults with diabetes in Australia has more than doubled since 1980s with a notable increase of cases in young people and children in recent years. It is estimated that around half of all Australians who have diabetes don't even know they have it.
The 'Guide to Positively Managing Diabetes' has information on diabetes and provides practical advice on maintaining a healthier lifestyle, along with guidelines for managing diabetes with medicines.
Having a written 'Diabetes Action Plan' which has been developed with your doctor can reduce your risk of long-term complications of diabetes. It can also help you gauge how well your medicines and your lifestyle changes are working.
'The Diabetes Personal Health Record' helps you monitor your medicines and plan for regular health checks with your doctor.
