PROGRAM DETAILS

Below you will find a week by week guideline of what will happen during the 10-week program.  

​

Participants will be required to have the HbA1c blood and urine (testing kidney function) tests at the beginning and end of the program.  Also, your HbA1c will be recorded 3 monthly for 12 months after the end of the program. All individual health testing results will be discussed with participants in private.  Participants are welcome to include a support person (friend, member of whanau, etc) at those sessions.  Participants will have access to a diabetes health adviser at each group exercise session to answer any questions and provide support if desired.

​

Participants will be required to participate in the weekly small group exercise session in the Exercise Studio and exercise frequently (at your own pace) with the assistance of an individually prescribed plan.  To help this happen, participants will have a free limited membership at The Exercise Studio, Silverstream, Upper Hutt for the duration of the program.
