We are looking for individuals who may have elevated blood sugar level (prediabetes) to participate in the study to see if antioxidant-rich plant extracts may help improve blood sugar levels. To express interest, go to: goo.gl...

Importance of this research:
An estimated 670, 000 New Zealanders have prediabetes, and many others are unaware of the condition. Prediabetes is a state higher than normal blood sugar level, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. However, people with prediabetes are at high risk of becoming diabetic. We are examining how nutrition such as antioxidant-rich plant extracts can prevent the progression towards diabetes.

How do you know you are at risk?
You should be tested for prediabetes if you have any of the following:
1. obesity (BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more if you are Indo-Asian)
2. family history of early age onset of type 2 diabetes in more than one first degree relative (parent, brother or sister)
3. a woman who has had gestational diabetes
4. high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting your heart and blood vessels)

You may have a quick check in the link to see if you are at risk: diabetesauckland.org.nz...

If you think you are at risk and would like to participate in the study, we would like to invite you over for a screening at your convenient time. The study requires four mornings and each session takes approximately 3 hours. You will be able to do your own work during this time. We are flexible with the time you can come for the study sessions. The study is also available on weekends. Free free to ask me any questions you may have!

Auckland Transport is addressing the "very disturbing" rise in local road deaths and serious injuries with a range of projects, including six new red-light cameras at high-risk intersections, safety measures at rail level crossings and lower speeds around schools and town centres.

Five urban and five rural high-risk roads and intersections, plus 20 urban pedestrian projects are getting attention during the current financial year that runs from July to the end of June next year. You can stay up to date with NZTA projects here.

The urban road safety improvements include a signalised pedestrian crossing on Taharoto Rd in Takapuna and new traffic lights at a busy intersection in Wiri. Rural safety improvements are planned in Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Waiuku and a new intersection at Popes Rd and Porchester Rd at Takanini.

A further $5 million is being spent on improving road markings and better signage on more than 400km of rural roads.

Preventing social isolation

All of us are social beings by nature, and feeling isolated can often have a negative impact on our well-being and health outcomes. Keeping in touch with the people we know can have many benefits for our physical health, mental health and wellbeing.

Did you know that…

About half of older New Zealanders experience some level of loneliness in our lives.

Older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation or loneliness due to loss of friends and family, mobility or income?

A person can be socially isolated, but not lonely?

lacking social connections is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes?

Loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing?

Become a Street contact for Neighbuorhood Support and help connect the people that live in your street,

Social isolation checklist

The Office for Seniors has released a checklist to help people determine if they, or someone they know, is at risk of becoming socially isolated.
