Support & Our Difference
So how can I receive support with managing my T2DM?
In Australia, GPs, nurse practitioners and practice nurses can provide you with a diabetes care plan (a type of Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan). This enables you to have;
- Up to 5 visits with a range of allied health professionals including; exercise physiologists, diabetes educators, podiatrists and dieticians.
- Additionally, you will also receive a comprehensive 1:1 initial assessment with our exercise physiologist AND 8 group exercise sessions per calendar year to kickstart your T2DM management.
Why is seeing an exercise physiologist different than simply going to the gym?
- Exercise physiologists are university qualified professionals.
- They have the knowledge and skills to manage chronic health conditions using the latest research evidence.
- They have experience in screening and assessing your capacity.
- They will guide you through the process with education, coaching and motivation to see you reach your goals!
