To increase women’s awareness of diabetes, Healthy Inspirations The Pines is supporting World Diabetes Day by offering a free computerised body-composition report to women aged over 30 in order to assess the risks of diabetes.

The Pines manager Danielle Edwards, felt it was worth supporting as the fourth leading cause of death by disease globally, . “Women with a waist measurement of over 82cm have an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, and over 88cm the risk is significantly increased.” However, if diagnosed early on, diabetes can be managed effectively, which is what Edwards is hoping to achieve through the free diabetes risk assessment to all members of The Pines franchise.
