	Clothes getting tighter? If you’re overweight and over 45, you could be at risk of diabetes, heart disease or stroke. The Life! program is a free Victorian lifestyle modification program that helps you reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Run by expert health professionals, the program is delivered as a group course or a telephone health coaching service. Changing your lifestyle isn't easy, especially on your own. The Life! program gives you the motivation and support needed to make and maintain positive changes to adopt healthy behaviours and a more active lifestyle. The first step is to complete the AUSDRISK test and learn more about your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A 12+ score indicates that you are at high risk and may be eligible for the Life! program. Visit www.lifeprogram.org.au or call 13 7475 to learn more about the Life! program.
