Heart Week (4–10 May)

Why it matters
If you have pre-diabetes or diabetes, your heart can be at higher risk.
But the good news is – there’s a lot you can do to protect your heart, and small steps really add up.

• Keep your blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range
• Eat more healthy foods like veggies, fruit and whole grains
• Move your body every day – even a short walk helps
• Work towards a healthy weight, 2kg at a time!
• If you smoke, cutting down or quitting can make a big difference

• Have a chat with your GP if you have any concerns
