New Victorian diabetes win
April 16, 2012
PHARMACISTS in Victoria now
have a new way to aid their
patients with Type 2 Diabetes,
thanks to funding from Diabetes
Australia.
The funding will enable the rollout
of the type 2 diabetes
prevention program – Life!, for
Victorian pharmacists, which will
allow them a greater
engagement in the holistic
management of diabetes.
The group based program is
designed to reduce the risk of
developing type 2 diabetes by
encouraging participants to set
behavioural goals and make
lifestyle changes based on the
adoption of an active lifestyle
and healthy diet.
Life! also supports Victorians
with limited access to its program
by offering telephone health
coaching as an alternative to the
standard face to face workshops.
Diabetes Australia’s Victorian
wing is offering a referral funding
agreement, to engage
pharmacists to encourage these
referrals into the Life! program,
for all registered pharmacists
practicing in Victoria.
As such, whilst community
pharmacies are the primary sites
for screening, other non-premises
based practitioners such as
pharmacists conducting HMRs
are also encouraged to participate.
