Elevated Blood Sugars
If you've heard "your sugars are a little bit high..." you have a 10-20x higher risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes
Overweight / Obese
Overweight (BMI 25-30) = 3x higher risk
Obese (BMI 30+) = 6x higher risk
Unhealthy Diet
In conjunction with physical inactivity, this factor is the leading cause of Type 2 Diabetes
Sedentary Behaviour
Sitting for long periods at a time (think desk job!) doubles the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes
Chronic Stress
Stress hormones causes elevated blood sugar levels, as well as inhibiting both production and effectiveness of insulin, which can lead to Type 2 Diabetes
No exercise
Exercise is a critically important factor to help reduce blood sugar levels, as it helps move sugars out of the bloodstream
Poor sleep patterns
Increased cortisol from poor sleep causes elevated blood sugars and increased insulin resistance
Smoking
Smokers are 30-40% more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes and suffer more significant complications

Genetic risk factors of Type 2 Diabetes
We can't change these things, but lifestyle intervention will reduce risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
3x more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes due to lower insulin sensitivity from hormonal imbalances.
Gestational Diabetes (GDM)
10x more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes & 1 in 2 women developing Diabetes within 10-15 years after GDM
We've supported 2500+ GDM women to prevent Type 2 Diabetes
Family History
1 parent with Diabetes - 15% higher risk
2 parents with Diabetes - 75% higher risk
Ethnicity
Higher risk for those with a family background of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander, Pacific Islander, South-East Asian, Asian, Arabic or North African
Increasing Age
The older our cells are, the more insulin resistant they become, increasing risk of Diabetes.
I'm at high risk, what can I do?
Having lifestyle or genetic risk factors does not mean you will develop Type 2 Diabetes - but they do put you in a higher risk category. The great news is that research demonstrates that lifestyle intervention can more than halve your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.
We've supported over 20,000 individuals at high risk of Diabetes to modify their lifestyle, improve their health and well-being and reduce risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

Client Feedback
"My Doctor could hardly believe it when I went back after a few months of being told I was "pre-diabetic" and my sugars were back to normal range. I applied what I learned in this course and my sugars went back to normal" - Debbie
"At first, I thought I would learn nothing, but a family member encouraged me to register. I'm so glad I did. This course has by far provided me with practical lifestyle changes I can achieve rather than taking another pill, and I've lost 12kg and improved my sugars" - Stav
"It's been a privilege to be able to participate in this course, it came at a very opportune time and I have made many positive changes in my life because of it. My family are also benefiting from the knowledge I have gained." - Joan
"If others are asking "what to do" for their health, this is the course for them- achievable and easy to understand - valuable information given in a clear, concise manner" - Sonali
"My GP diagnosed me with Type 2 Diabetes, but I was determined to avoid Diabetes medication. I undertook Equip4Life's course, put it into practice, and my blood glucose returned to normal and my GP told me I've reversed Type 2 Diabetes! I can't recommend this course highly enough" - John
