This National Diabetes Week,
NPS MedicineWise is reminding
people with diabetes to keep track
of three things — blood glucose,
blood pressure and cholesterol
levels — to stay healthy and
prevent their risk of complications.
Almost one million Australians
have type 2 diabetes and many
may be at risk of developing serious
complications including heart
attack and stroke.
To help people with diabetes
manage the “three pillars of good
health,” NPS has developed a
suite of resources that individuals,
community groups and health
professionals can access for free.
These include the Keeping
Track of Diabetes Guide, and the
Diabetes Health Tracker tool to
record medicines and test results,
both available in multiple languages.
