Take Control of Your Diabetes Today!
Our Diabetes Medicare Program helps you manage Type 2 Diabetes through diet & exercise. Bringing together an exercise physiologist, a dietitian and a musculoskeletal specialist Vitalelife provides you with a complete diabetes wellness package.
As a diabetic, exercise helps you manage your blood sugar and cardiovascular health more effectively. Exercise doesn’t mean jogging, running or moving outside your comfort zone. It means a personalised program of low intensity combination cardiovascular and strength exercises that you can do in a small group environment or even at home. This program will show you how to manage your diabetes in a safe, supportive environment. Dietitian and exercise programs are completed in small groups which give the opportunity for personalised support and social interaction.
