Life! taking action on Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes affects more than 1.5 million Australians. It is the fastest growing chronic disease in this country. The good news is a Life! course can help your a prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes and is free for most people.
The tailored course can help you feel better and live longer to spend more time with your family and friends.  The number of new cases of type 2 diabetes can be halved in people at high risk who have attended a lifestyle course.
The Life! taking action on diabetes program is an important part of the Victorian government's "Go for your life" initiative and the East Gippsland Primary Health Alliance(EGPHA) is committed to supporting the program.
EGPHA is involved in coordinating courses, supporting facilitators, directing and managing referrals from GPs and following up with participants during and after the course.
