Conditions like Type 2 Diabetes and Pre-diabetes are on the rise, but what’s more concerning is how many people are sitting in the early stages without diagnosis.
Current estimates suggest up to 1 in 3 adults may be affected, which in Australia that equates to roughly 6 million Australians.
Some shocking stats:
• Around 1.3 million Australians are living with diagnosed diabetes, that's roughly 1 in 20 people
• An additional 500,000 Australians are estimated to have undiagnosed diabetes
• Diabetes has tripled since the 1980s • Combined that's close to 1.8 million Australians affected right now.
⁉️ Most don't even know they have it ⁉️
What is Pre-Diabetes? Blood sugar levels that are higher than normal, but not yet diabetic often linked with:
• Insulin resistance • Inflammation • Hormonal imbalance particularly during peri-menopause
👉 Without intervention: Up to 70% will go on to develop Type 2 Diabetes
What does that look like in real life?
• Difficulty losing weight around the belly (even when doing everything “right”) • Low energy and constant fatigue/brain fog • Inflammation • Mood Disorders (anxiety + depression) • Cardiovascular Disease
Actually there are over 100 symptoms. If you would like the list, please email me at [email protected]

This conversation explained why traditional approaches of eating less and exercising more often fall short, and why understanding blood sugar and insulin response is key.
