What is 1800PREVENT (type 2 diabetes)?
1800PREVENT (type 2 diabetes) is a free, easy-to-access service designed to support the care you already provide for patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. We're helping patients understand that risk is about more than just food and movement - age, family history, and cultural background all play a role.
Who will benefit from the service?
This service is ideal for people who want to understand their risk of type 2 diabetes, learn practical steps to prevent it, or access free support programs offered locally throughout Australia.
How does it work?
This service is designed to complement your clinical care by helping patients stay on track between visits. Through a simple and structured approach, the service supports early intervention and long-term lifestyle change in three simple steps:
- Talk. Start the conversation and understand the risk. Empower your patients to take the first step. With up to 58% of cases prevented or delayed, there's real power in acting early. A brief, free chat helps patients assess their risk and opens the door to ongoing lifestyle support.
- Act. Make informed choices early and take action. We help your patients understand their options and act early because type 2 diabetes isn't just about food and movement. Age, family history, and ethnicity all play a role. Our team will help patients understand their risk and guide them towards the right next steps.
- Prevent. Supporting small steps today for better health tomorrow. With the right support, patients get personalised guidance on nutrition, movement, and wellbeing that's designed to help them make lasting, positive changes that fit their life.
