ASLM Submission – Parliamentary Inquiry into Diabetes

This year, the Australian government announced a Parliamentary Inquiry into Diabetes in Australia.

The inquiry will place a heavy focus on the impact of diabetes on the health system and economy as well as advances in the prevention and management of the condition.

ASLM’s submission to the inquiry was accepted this month and centred on a variety of aspects relating to the opportunities presented by Lifestyle Medicine and inclusive models of care, such as Shared Medical Appointments in the prevention, treatment and where both possible and appropriate, the remission of type 2 diabetes.
