DIABETES - It doesn't have to be this way.

A Lets Beat Diabetes social marketing campaign was launched recently with the hope that the cut-through messages will bring Type 2 Diabetes into everyday conversation and highlight that this lifestyle disease is preventable.

The campaign spans across all stages of the disease, bringing to light how Diabetes begins, spotlighting how our young people are at risk of developing the disease in the future, and engaging the community to change lifestyle habits so people can lead healthier lives.

"Knowledge is an important driver" says Social Marketing Manager Christine McKay. "Our goal is to get people talking and to foster shared community responsibility. Type 2 diabetes is preventable and it is not just a health sector issue."
