Exercise Physiology Services for Type 2 Diabetes

Regular exercise is an essential part of managing type 2 diabetes. It can help to improve blood sugar control, reduce the risk of complications, and enhance overall well-being. At REPS Movement, we offer specialised exercise physiology services tailored to the needs of individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Medicare Benefits for Type 2 Diabetes Exercise Programs

If you have type 2 diabetes, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for exercise physiology services under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. To access these rebates, you'll need a referral from your GP or other healthcare provider. The referral should specify that you require exercise physiology services for type 2 diabetes management. 

To simplify the referral process, we've provided a downloadable referral template for both participants and GPs. Participants can download and take this template to their GP to discuss eligibility for Medicare rebates under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan.

Our Personalised Approach to Type 2 Diabetes Exercise Programs

At REPS Movement, we understand that each individual with type 2 diabetes has unique needs and fitness levels. That's why we begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your current health status, exercise history, and personal goals. Based on this assessment, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists will design a personalised exercise program tailored to your specific requirements.

Group Exercise Sessions with Individualised Plans

We offer group exercise sessions for individuals with type 2 diabetes, providing a supportive and motivating environment. While the sessions are conducted in a group setting, each participant follows their individualised exercise plan under the supervision of our experienced exercise physiologists. We recommend attending 2 to 3 sessions per week, but we can adjust the frequency to suit your individual needs and schedule.
