2kg Challenge
What is the 2kg Challenge?
This is your opportunity to empower yourself to reduce your chance of type 2 diabetes.
The 2kg Challenge is a diabetes awareness, detection and prevention campaign.
If you are at risk of diabetes, losing just 2kg can reduce your chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 30%.
Why take the 2kg Challenge to beat diabetes?
Western Sydney is a diabetes hotspot.
If you live in Western Sydney you are twice as likely to have diabetes than people living in Sydney’s Eastern or Northern suburbs. You are even at higher risk if you are Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Asian, Middle Eastern, or from the Indian subcontinent or the Pacific Islands.
If you have diabetes you have a higher risk of health problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
Taking the 2kg Challenge can lower your risk of diabetes, improve your physical health, mental health and social well-being, and help you feel more energetic.
And, by joining the 2kg Challenge, you become part of our community and gain access to exclusive offers and events.
