HOLISTIC - Overcoming Diabetes

Diabetes is a rapidly growing global health challenge, affecting 589 million adults—around 1 in 9 people—with numbers projected to rise by 45% to 853 million by 2050. 

In Australia alone, more than 1.3 million people are living with diabetes, with a new diagnosis every five minutes, making it the country’s fastest-growing chronic condition. 

The burden is disproportionately higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, who face significantly greater risks of developing, being hospitalised for, and dying from type 2 diabetes.

Many health professionals report limited training and low confidence in providing structured nutrition and lifestyle counselling for type 2 diabetes risk reduction. 

Through Doctors for Nutrition, there is an on-demand course for anyone living with—or looking to prevent—type 2 diabetes. Whether you’re managing existing health concerns or aiming to reduce your risk, this course provides expert guidance, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies to help you make lasting, positive changes. 

Developed by expert healthcare professionals, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to support better health, wellbeing, and long-term vitality.  Visit: doctorsfornutrition.org/overcoming-diabetes
