Juggling to Manage Your Type 2 Diabetes?

Each year, approximately 100,000 Australian adults develop Diabetes. That’s about 275 adults daily. Furthermore, for every person diagnosed, it's estimated that there is another who is not yet diagnosed.*

Many people remain unaware of the risk Diabetes can pose to their health, with statistics* revealing that:

2/3rds of Australians who die from Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) had diabetes or pre-diabetes in the years preceding their death
It is the most common cause of blindness in people aged 30-60 years
Amputation is 15 times more likely in people who have diabetes compared to those that don’t
Every 2 seconds, 2 people will be diagnosed and 1 person will die from Diabetes

Did you know that Betty can assist in managing your Type 2 Diabetes?

Diabetes Type 2 can be delayed or even prevented in up to 60% of cases by adopting a healthy and active lifestyle* – two things which the Betty Baxter program encompasses.

The program allows a range of fresh fruit, vegetables and low GI options. Combined with our shakes, soups and bars, the program will provide you with the essential vitamins and minerals that are needed daily. Whilst on the program, it is also recommended that a person does a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise daily.

Betty Baxter products are also high in fibre and contain no added MSG.

There are three stages to the Betty Baxter program, with each phase allowing a gradual increase in the daily intake of calories and each phase can be tailored to suit an individual’s needs. Click here to learn more about the difference between these phases.
