"A new telephone coaching program is helping Tasmanians who have type 2 diabetes, or are at risk of getting it, to better manage their condition. Health Minister Lara Giddings said the Diabetes Assist program, set up under Tasmania’s Health Plan, was now helping more than 100 people around the State with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. "Diabetes Assist is a positive local step in helping to battle burgeoning rates of the disease," Ms Giddings said. “Diabetes Assist has two components – a free telephone coaching service based on the multi award winning The COACH Program®, which is delivered Statewide, and a nutrition education service targeted at the North West."
