This fortnight we are reflecting on the wonderful achievements of the CHLS community over the last 6 months. We have supported over 250 of you in achieving your health and wellbeing goals, with many of you reporting increased physical activity, better wellbeing, and improved nutrition. Thank you for being a part of a healthier Cockburn, and we look forward to seeing more wonderful achievements over the next 6 months.
|
This fortnight, we are also shining the spotlight on National Diabetes Week. Diabetes is a condition that affects the whole body, and it is important to check your health regularly to know if you are at risk. We are busting some myths below and linking additional resources if you would like to learn more.
|
Coming up, we are excited to share some programs with you, including these brand-new programs:
|
- Prime Time Movers
- 4-week nutrition and cooking workshop series
To stay connected to our programs, you will need to attend your free health consult every 2 months.

Diabetes is a health condition that has widespread effects on the body. Whether you have just been diagnosed, know someone living with diabetes, or just wanting to learn more, here's what you need to know about preventing and managing diabetes.
|
Insulin is a hormone that moves glucose (sugar) from the blood to the cells to be used. Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot make enough insulin or use it properly to regulate glucose levels in the blood, resulting in high glucose levels in the blood.
|
Different lifestyle factors can cause diabetes, so treatment should be individualised.

Check your risk of developing type 2 diabetes
A Type 2 diabetes risk assessment is easy using the Diabetes Australia Risk Calculator based on the AUSDRISK – the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. A score of 12 or more means a person is at high risk, should see their doctor for blood pathology and seek a diabetes prevention program (lifestyle behaviour change).
