National Diabetes Week 2010

Figures released by DiabetesAustraliashow the number of Victorians with type 2 Diabetes has nearly doubled since 2001 reaching 230,000.

With prevention better than a cure, National Diabetes Week is a good reminder of the benefits of exercise in preventing the onset of type 2 Diabetes.

Replacing regular car trips with walking or cycling is an easy way to fit exercise into today's busy lifestyle.

National Diabetes Week will run from 11 - 17 July 2010. For more information or to find local events visit www.diabetesvic.org.au
