Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes can often be overlooked. 10-15 years can go by before the person with 'higher than normal blood sugar' realizes that the weight gain/loss, tiredness, wounds that don't heal, thrush infections etc are not just part of life, but due to Type 2 diabetes.
… View moreSymptoms of Type 2 Diabetes can often be overlooked. 10-15 years can go by before the person with 'higher than normal blood sugar' realizes that the weight gain/loss, tiredness, wounds that don't heal, thrush infections etc are not just part of life, but due to Type 2 diabetes.
Even with a diagnosis, its sometimes hard to get your head round things; resulting in a leg being amputated, blindness, kidney problems. If you, or someone you love is at risk of Type 2 diabetes take them to see your GP.
If a blood test for diabetes has not been completed within the last 2 years then ask your GP for a HbA1c test. If you are unsure if your family history or current lifestyle choices place you at risk of Type 2, give us a call on 07 571 3422.
If you have been diagnosed with Type 2, and are struggling to make sense of things or get your sugars under control, then ring us on 07 5713422; we are waiting for your call.
If you have Type 1 or gestational diabetes contact us, or check out our website www.diabeteshelp.org.nz... for details of our services.
This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

We are not a retirement village or a day care centre for the elderly but simply an Event Centre providing activities for the 55+ age group. No membership is required; a small fee is charged for each activity, but no children please. We have a full commercial kitchen catering for lunches and functions which is also available for hire.
