Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that can affect your health and wellbeing. The good news is that many people can reduce their risk by making small, healthy changes in their daily lives.

Knowing your risk and taking action early can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Healthy eating, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and having regular health checks can all make a difference.

Some communities in South Eastern Sydney are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, including Aboriginal communities and people from South Asian, Chinese and Arabic-speaking backgrounds.
