Recognising Diabetes Adrian McDonald, Pindara Private Hospital Diabetes Educator Diabetes is a very common disease these days, with the incidence of Type 2 diabetes getting larger and larger each year. Most of us have known someone, are related to someone or are someone who has diabetes. In fact, the disease is so prevalent it even has its own magazine. Type 2 diabetes generally arises when insulin production is inadequate relative to the demands of the body; that is, the body can’t produce enough insulin to clear sugar (glucose) out of the blood stream. This extra sugar floating around in the bloodstream can cause a lot of problems and be the cause of many health issues that just won’t go away. The consequences of not treating high blood sugars can be very dire and, in fact, the World Health Organisation (WHO) tells us that Type 2 diabetes is expected to become the seventh highest cause of death globally by 2030.
