Patients who are at high risk of type 2 diabetes based on the AUSDRISK tool, can be referred to Reset Your Life under an item 713 (Type 2 diabetes risk review) item 717 (45-49 year old health check) or item 710 (Indigenous Adult 15-54 year old health check).
The Reset Your Life programme is delivered at the Green Apple. It is a series of group education and motivation sessions supporting lifestyle change, providing information in accordance with national standards. These standards require that information is provided on :
- the risks of diabetes and their relationship to lifestyle risk factors;
- the importance of regular diabetes screening;
- nutrition advice and education;
- physical activity advice;
- behavioural strategies to support the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyle changes;
- smoking cessation and alcohol reduction advice if required; and
- information about community resources to provide support in maintaining lifestyle change.
This "Reset Your Life" programme requires GP's to complete a GP Referral Form for each patient referred to a LMP under an item 713, 717 or 710. The GP Referral Form can be downloaded from the AGPN website.
