Thread in pictures: The national crisis pushing our hospitals to the brink

The disease sweeping inland Australia is not infectious but it is devastating — and it’s pushing hospitals to the brink of collapse.

Medicos warn: ‘This is the real pandemic.’

[Liam Mendes @liammendes]

The national diabetes epidemic is pushing hospitals to the brink of collapse, with up to 1/3 of ­patients in urban centres affected by the condition and di­alysis clinics at absolute capacity in Central Australia, where four out of 10 Aboriginal people have the chronic disease.

[Liam Mendes @liammendes]

The type 2 diabetes epidemic – evolving over three decades – is ­escalating in an alarming manner, with children as young as four years old its latest victims.

Aboriginal women in Central Australia have the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in pregnancy ever reported globally, with almost one in 10 affected, making them 30 times more likely to develop end-stage kidney disease.

Thank you for highlighting the impacts of #type2diabetes among #Youth in Northern & Central Australia & our @MenziesResearch @diabpartnership work

[Liam Mendes @liammendes]

The age of the children being diagnosed in the Northern Territory, according to data compiled by the Menzies School of Health Research, represents a trend that has never been recorded anywhere in the world.

[Liam Mendes @liammendes]

“The emergence of type 2 diabetes in children in Central Australia is a catastrophe,” said NT Health’s Dr James Dowler, acting director of pediatrics at Alice Springs Hospital.

“It’s going to ruin lives, it’s going to impact ­future generations,” he added.

[Liam Mendes @liammendes]

“I don’t think people are aware of exactly how big this issue is,” said Elna Ellis, head of endocrinology at Alice Springs Hospital and chair of the NT Diabetes Clinical Network.

The Parliamentary Health C’tee has been on the road for its enquiry into the huge increase in diabetes.

Yarrabah is an hour out of Cairns. There is *no* fresh fruit in the only shop. The water quality is unreliable, and Coke’s cheaper than bottled water.

We must do better.
