Powered by VIBE - a partnership to change lives
We’re delighted to partner with VIBE, working together to help hundreds of thousands of people live healthier lives.
Vibe is a New Zealand brand specialising in healthy drinks and snacks. Rather than choosing between indulgence or a healthy modern lifestyle, they strive to combine both.
Improving hauora
Our partnership with VIBE focuses on helping more people understand what puts them at risk of type 2 and what they can do about it, and how to incorporate lifestyle improvements into living better with any type of diabetes. We believe that by working together we can prevent more people from being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and help everyone living with diabetes to live their best lives. Improving people’s hauora (health and wellbeing) is at the very heart of our partnership.
Hauora - healthier everywhere
We share a simple ambition, to help everyone live healthier lives. By working together we'll help people lower their risk of health issues or even serious illness. This partnership is about helping to make everyone healthier.
Why now?
There are an estimated 292,000 people currently living with diabetes in New Zealand; 90% of these are living with type 2 diabetes. A further million people are at increased risk of developing type 2, and it’s estimated that almost one million people are living with undiagnosed diabetes. Someone is diagnosed with the condition every 2 minutes. So, diabetes management and prevention has never been as important as it is right now.
Our partnership will help people understand more about diabetes, with opportunities to manage their health or lower their risk of type 2 diabetes. With every step and every mile we will raise vital funds to stop diabetes in its tracks. Every dollar raised goes towards providing support to people living with diabetes across Aotearoa.
By joining forces, VIBE and Diabetes NZ will show how working together can help people do more than they ever thought possible. We'll inspire meaningful changes to people's behaviour which improves their physical and mental health - for good.
