Education and prevention – and the theme of this year’s World Diabetes Day
Education and prevention are key issues for the day of the year chosen for Diabetes – World Diabetes Day on November 14.
It’s time to remember Australia; Type 1 diabetes can be avoided – for now. There has not clearly identify the causes of type 1 diabetes, so there is no known way to prevent, to do so. However, research organizations such as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) are closer than ever, with trials of human vaccines, but not here in Australia.
There are no known factors of lifestyle with type 2 diabetes and obesity epidemic is dominated by the media. Clearly cure people with type 1 diabetes – no amount of exercise – to keep their condition quiet. This is a missed opportunity for the community to raise awareness about the differences.
Inconvenient Truth Diabetes Type 1
> Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, not caused by obesity and junk food.
> Insulin is not a panacea, but without it, they will not survive with type 1 diabetes.
> Investing in health research conducted by the community, government and corporate great strides in health care for people with type 1 diabetes given.
> Research organizations such as JDRF to make real progress in preventing new cases of type 1 diabetes and prevent complications in people who have the disease.
One of the major fundraising events is the JDRF Ride to cure diabetes, an event which is 300 for cycling fans around Australia through the reader Barossa Valley, Saturday, January 16, 2010.
Among the drivers Sarah Fisher and Andrew Bullen Fitzroy North, who accepted the task of raising funds for the research required for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
“It’s an important thing, and is an effective way of raising awareness and funds much needed research,” says Sarah.
“I am proud, and with the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes am associated. We hope to make a significant contribution to the final result of the fundraising.”
It is the seventh Australian to Ride cure diabetes. The drivers have a minimum of $ 3,500 per round, or take part in the 35 -, 80 – or 160-km course. Drivers aged 10 to 70 years, and connect most with type 1 diabetes – they do something with the disease themselves or for someone else to do.
“I have type 1 diabetes for over 18 years and have a series of complications. Due to complications in the treatment of nerve damage in his legs, but the trip a great challenge for me, but I am determined to complete the 160 km, said Sarah.
