THE broader impacts of diabetes on Australia's health system and economy, and recent advances in the prevention and management of the disease, will be the focus of a new inquiry by the House Health Committee.
The Chair of the Committee, Dr Mike Freelander said, "diabetes impacts 1.3 million Australians, and the Committee will conduct this inquiry to better understand the current situation regarding diabetes in Australia, including the effectiveness of current Australian Government policies and programs aiming to prevent, diagnose and manage the condition".
"The Inquiry will be broad and will also look at lifestyle factors and the interaction between lifestyle, Type 2 diabetes, and obesity."
