About the program:
Living with diabetes can be tough. At our Hospital, we’re here to empower you with the knowledge, confidence and support you need to take control and lead a healthy life.
Who can benefit from this program?
This program is designed especially for individuals who are newly diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 and 2) and those struggling to manage glucose levels.
This program can help you to:
- Learn to manage your glucose levels effectively
- Gain insights into nutrition and healthy eating
- Discover tailored exercise routines for your needs
- Connect with a supportive community of fellow participants
- Build the foundation for a healthier, happier future
The program aims:
This program is delivered in a day program setting, consisting of 3 x 2-hour sessions per week for up to 10 weeks (the number of sessions depends on your insurance cover).
We provide:
- A Personalised Plan: We understand that every individual’s journey with diabetes is unique. Our program begins with a one-on-one consultation from our rehab consultant, who then works with our allied health team to create a plan based on your individual needs, challenges and goals. Our rehab consultant will then check in on you regularly to assess and measure your progress.
- Exercise and Education: Our program combines exercise therapy in our large open plan gym and nutrition/heart health educational sessions to give you the skills to manage your diabetes effectively, beyond the program.
- Expert, Multidisciplinary Team: Our program is led by rehab consultants, cardiac nurses and allied health professionals including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists and dieticians.
- A Holistic Approach: We employ a holistic approach to your well-being, providing guidance around nutrition, medication and exercise. We are dedicated to helping you build a healthier lifestyle for the long term.
- You will receive personalised exercise therapy in our hydrotherapy pool and/or our modern gymnasium led by our allied health team.
