Take the 2kg challenge and beat diabetes.
Western Sydney is a diabetes hotspot.
Diabetes is growing and is largely driven by weight gain. More than 60% of adults are either overweight or obese.
Adults living in Western Sydney are twice as likely to have diabetes than those living in Sydney’s Eastern or Northern suburbs. The rates are particularly high in our multi-cultural population groups, that is First Nations, Asian, Middle Eastern and Pacific Islander populations.
If you are at risk of diabetes, shedding just 2kgs – and keeping it off – can reduce your chance of developing diabetes by 30%.
