Introduction to Medicare Diabetes Program
Managing Type 2 diabetes requires a proactive, comprehensive approach that includes education, lifestyle changes, and regular physical activity. At Holistic Exercise Physiology, our Diabetes Program is designed to empower individuals with Type 2 diabetes to take control of their health through structured exercise and informed self-management strategies.
Our program combines supervised exercise sessions with essential education on diabetes management, all within a supportive community environment. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or looking to improve your current diabetes management, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Who Can Benefit from the Diabetes Program?
Our Diabetes Program is specifically designed for individuals looking to improve their health and manage their diabetes more effectively. This program is ideal for you if:
You have a Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) diagnosis and a General Practitioner (GP) Management Plan, which may make you eligible for a Medicare subsidy.
​
​
You have another type of diabetes or a high risk of diabetes. While Medicare subsidy may not apply, you are still welcome to enroll and participate fully in the program.
​
​
If you meet these criteria, our program can be a valuable step toward better managing your diabetes and enhancing your overall quality of life.
