Diabetes TASMANIA is facilitating a program for people at high risk of diabetes called Reset Your Life. It is a program designed by Baker IDI and consists of 7 group sessions over 6 months, featuring goal setting skills and information about physical activity and nutrition. The first course starts on 22nd January. This same course is being run all over Australia.
Potential participants need to fill in the Australian Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Tool (AUSDRISK) and then go to their GP to get a check for diabetes (they may well have it already!).
Who can come to the program?
People who:
get a high score of over 15 on the AUSDRISK tool and;
have had a check by their GP to exclude type 2 diabetes and;
have obtained a GP referral to the program, are eligible to attend.
The program is targeted especially at people aged 40-49 years.
