Diabetes is a big deal and something we should all be aware of. According to Diabetes Australia, diabetes is the fastest-growing chronic condition in Australia, with around 1.8 million Australians  currently living with diabetes. Alarmingly, this number is increasing by 275 people every day and Australia is estimated to hit the 3 million mark by 2030! In this article, we will dive deep into the world of diabetes. We will cover some helpful definitions, look at the impact of carbohydrates and their role as the primary source of glucose in our diets and explore how diet and lifestyle choices can help to manage diabetes.

As the winter weather sets in, it's more crucial than ever that we all prioritise our immune health! Our immune system serves as our body's defence mechanism, protecting us from harmful pathogens and doing its best to keep us up and about. By understanding the importance of a robust immune system and implementing some simple (and even fun!) strategies, we can fortify our bodies against winter’s seasonal challenges, giving us the best chance of dealing with all those nasty bugs - and if (or should I say when!) we do catch one, we have the best chance to deal with it as quickly as possible.
