Lifestyle Modification Programs(LMPs) are individual or group education programs, running for at least six months.
LMPs provide participants with information about diabetes, lifestyle risk factors and the importance of regular diabetes screening. LMPs help participants to make healthy lifestyle changes around physical activity, weight loss and nutrition.
Patients can be referred to LMPs by their doctor under a type 2 diabetes risk evaluation (MBS item713), 45-49 year old health check (MBS item 717) the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adult health check (MBS item 710) or through the DAV Life! program .
