ELIA Research Project
Diabetes 12-week Clinical Program
Join the research project that aims to show there’s a better way to live with diabetes.
You are invited to participate in a research study that involves educating and assisting participants in making lifestyle choices that help treat type 2 diabetes.
You will benefit from this program by learning more about diabetes and better health and have the potential of better treating your type 2 diabetes. This study may also further medical knowledge of the treatment of type 2 diabetes and will improve future implementation of the Diabetes Clinical Program.
Information For Prospective Participants
Did you know that Type 2 diabetes is now considered a global pandemic, with 10% of the world's adult population living with diabetes?*
In Australia alone, 1.3 million adults had type 2 diabetes in 2021, leading to 10% of all deaths!**
Type 2 diabetes is seen as a chronic irreversible illness, requiring lots of medications to slow its progression. However, recent research has shown that type 2 diabetes can be prevented, halted or, in some cases, even remitted with healthy lifestyle habits!***
Leading diabetes organisations such as Diabetes Australia, Diabetes UK, and the American Diabetes Association now recognise that diabetes remission is possible!^ The American College of Lifestyle Medicine agrees that remission should be the ultimate treatment goal for type 2 diabetes where possible.^^
