SUMMARY:Understanding Diabetes and Falls Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
DESCRIPTION:Diabetes is a health condition that can cause high levels of glucose in the blood. It occurs when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin or the body becomes resistant to it. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have higher rates of diabetes\, particularly among older adults. More than one third (34.6%) of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged over 55 live with diabetes\, compared to just 5.5% of Aboriginal people aged 18–34. \nFalls are the most common cause of injury leading to hospitalisation among Aboriginal people. Older adults with diabetes have an increased risk of falls\, recurrent falls and the rate of fracture following a fall. In fact\, older adults who have diabetes are twice as likely to have a fall that can result in an injury. \nJoin Injury Matters on 28 May 2026 for the “Understanding Diabetes and Falls Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People” webinar. \nThis webinar will explore: \n\nDiabetes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities\nHow diabetes increases the risk of falling\nFalls risk factors for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with diabetes\nScreening tools and assessments\nHow to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with diabetes in falls prevention\n\nWho should attend?  \nAnyone who works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people\, anyone who works with older adults in the community\, Carers\, Support Workers\, Allied Health Professionals\, Occupational Therapists\, Physiotherapists\, Podiatrists\, Eye health professionals\, Nutritionists\, Nurses and Pharmacists. \nRegister here
