Subsidised Lifestyle Modification Program to reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes
The subsidised Lifestyle Modification Program (LMP) is a group education program targeting 40 to 49 year olds who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Under this program, GPs can refer eligible, ‘at risk’ patients to a subsidised Lifestyle Modification Program (LMP). A co-contribution of up to $50.00 may apply (waived for concession and health card holders).
To be eligible patients must:-
- score 12 or more on the AUSDRISK tool
- be aged 40-49 inclusive (15-54 for ATSI patients), and
- not have diabetes
Once referred, patients will participate in a six-month program combining exercise, education and support.
For further information regarding the LMP project please contact your Practice Support Officer or the Project Officer on Ph 9477 8700 or email using the Contact Us form.
