It's diabetes action month, and in New Zealand an estimate 48.6 out of 1000 people suffer from diabetes, and that number is rising. 

Diabetes also carries a stigma that it's caused by over-eating. But many genetic issues come in to play as well.

GP Bryan Betty joins Tim Beveridge to discuss the details of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Sports Biomechanist and Owner of Bone Health Studio Greg Pain joins Tim Beveridge for the Health Hub.
