The dangers of leaving diabetes untreated

Click below to see how diabetes can impact different parts of the body.
body
Eye damage
High blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina and can lead to vision problems and potential blindness[5].
Alzheimer’s disease
Diabetes can affect your brain's ability to use insulin properly. This can lead to problems in the brain that might contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease[6].
Depression
Can cause chronic inflammation in the areas of the brain that control mood.
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes can harm blood vessels and cause inflammation, increasing the chances of heart problems or stroke[7].
Skin disease
Diabetes can affect blood flow and how your body fights off infections. This can result in slower healing of wounds and make you more prone to skin infections[8].
Kidney damage
High levels of sugar in your blood can put a lot of strain on your kidneys and affect their ability to filter your blood[9].

How Juniper's medication
can help[10]

Our clinically proven treatment helps average patients lose over 13% of their body weight in 1 year.[11] Weight loss is a key factor in diabetes prevention and management.

Decreases blood sugar levels

GLP-1 medications regulate blood sugar and prevent spikes. This reduces the risk of severe, long-term complications.

Reduces risk of cardiovascular disease

Losing weight helps reduce heart attack and stroke risk by lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and decreasing cholesterol.

Promotes weight loss

The medication suppresses appetite and slows down stomach emptying to aid weight loss and reduce risks of diabetes.

Answered by Dr Ben Condon

What medications does Juniper use? Are they approved in Australia?
expand icon
All medications prescribed by Juniper clinicians have been approved for use in Australia, and are commonly prescribed by GPs for the treatment of weight management. However, due to Australian Therapeutic Goods regulations, we are unable to share the names of our treatments until you have completed a consultation with one of our Juniper doctors and are approved for treatment. This is to ensure a qualified medical professional discusses all the options available to you before you make any decisions regarding medical treatments.
Is it the same as diabetes medication?
expand icon
No, we do not offer Ozempic, a medication commonly used to treat diabetes. Our medication has been approved for weight loss in Australia.
How does the medication work?
expand icon
Juniper’s most prescribed treatment is a breakthrough medication approved in Australia for weight loss. The treatment is made up of a molecule that works like the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. GLP-1 is an appetite hormone that your body naturally produces to help regulate hunger. Juniper’s medication works like GLP-1 by suppressing your appetite and increasing the feeling of being full. This makes it easier for your body to maintain a lower weight, meaning you won't have to fight so hard to keep the weight off.
Will I experience side effects on Juniper’s medication?
expand icon
All medications come with a risk of side effects, but side effects experienced on Juniper’s medication are usually temporary and can be reduced and managed. The most common side effect on Juniper’s medication is nausea, with 40% of users experiencing this temporarily. Other common side effects include reflux, headaches, constipation, vomiting, fatigue and irritation to the injection site. We know these side effects are not ideal, but they are common and normal among patients on this class of medication.

Thankfully, our Juniper team will be there to guide and support you through managing and reducing any side effects.
What happens when I stop taking the medication?
expand icon
Juniper’s medication is an effective long-term treatment for losing weight and keeping it off. Patients should continue treatment until they have formed sustainable behavioural changes to maintain results and prevent weight regain after they come off the program. We’re with you as long as you need us.
Juniper can help you achieve your weight goals. Take the quiz today to see if you’re eligible to join the Weight Reset Program.
Can type 2 diabetes be prevented?

Changes in lifestyle play an important role in diabetes prevention and management.

  • Increasing daily movement
  • Healthy changes to diet
  • Losing weight if overweight or obese
How does Juniper’s medical treatment work?

Juniper prescribes weight loss medications that are effective in treating diabetes.

They act like a natural intestinal hormone and are injected once a week.

They lower blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, slow down the emptying of the stomach and promote weight loss.

Are there side effects?

All medications come with a risk of side effects, but side effects experienced on Juniper’s medication are usually temporary and can be reduced and managed with many lifestyle interventions. The most common side effect of Juniper’s medication is nausea, with 10% of users experiencing this temporarily[12]. Thankfully, our medical support team of nurses and pharmacists will check on you throughout treatment and be there to support you through managing and reducing any side effects you may experience.

How does Juniper help with diet and exercise?

Juniper’s dietitians, doctors, nurses, PTs, and health coaches are experts in behaviour change and weight management. They will help track your weight, waist measurement, and motivation levels, and implement sustainable behavioural and lifestyle changes over time, to build the foundations for lasting results.

Why doesn’t Juniper name the medications?

Due to Australian Therapeutic Goods regulations, we are unable to share the names of our treatments until you have completed a consultation with one of our Juniper doctors and are approved for treatment. This is to ensure a qualified medical professional discusses all the options available to you before you make any decisions regarding medical treatments.
