Diabetes is rising at an alarming rate in Australia, with a growing number of cases also reported among Indian communities. In this SBS Hindi podcast, we speak with Purva Guliyani, a researcher and nutritionist who works closely with migrant groups. She examines the challenges of delivering effective health messages within diverse communities and discusses why early diagnosis remains low. She also highlights how lifestyle changes after migration may be increasing the risk. As part of National Diabetes Week (13–19 July), efforts are being taken up to prevent Type 2 diabetes.
