PREVENTING DIABETES

DO YOU HAVE A HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT?

Obesity may make your body more resistant to insulin, which may increase your risk of getting diabetes. In fact, 50% of type 2 diabetics are obese.

Therefore, maintain a healthy body weight to minimise your risk.

Use the BMI Calculator to assess whether you are in the healthy weight range or not. (Healthy weight range = BMI: 18.5 to 24.9)

If you are overweight or obese, you should aim for a healthier weight by reducing your calorie consumption and increasing your physical activity.
