Local support for diabetes awareness Most people diagnosed with diabetes find out accidentally while being treated for other medical conditions. Yet late diagnosis of diabetes leaves people at greater risk of developing serious complications. Johnsonville Lions Club President Ross Brown says that awareness is critical to encourage good health for our future and that of our children. “We are hosting a public evening with Diabetes NZ and the Healthy Futures Trust on Wednesday July 18 at 7pm in the Johnsonville Community Centre Hall,” he says,
adding that a gold coin donation would be appreciated. Diabetes, says Ross, is a persistent disease that occurs as a result of high blood sugar. “It develops when your body is unable to produce insulin, or make use of it.” Diabetes can appear at any age, even in children. According to the Ministry of Health, there are over 240,000 people in New Zealand diagnosed with diabetes. Unfortunately, there are estimated to be 100,000 more who have it — but don’t know. There are two types of Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2.
While Type 1 diabetes is genetic and cannot be prevented, it can be managed. On the other hand, by following a healthy lifestyle, there is a chance of preventing Type 2 diabetes. President Ross said Johnsonville Lions is taking this initiative to increase public awareness and encourage those at risk to be checked. “It’s something we can do to help improve the health of our community,” he says, “and is in line with a multi-million dollar international project of Lions Clubs to help reduce the adverse effects of diabetes worldwide.”
