Do you have type 2 diabetes and work in a desk-based job?

Recent evidence suggests that reducing and breaking up sitting time may be a suitable self-care behaviour to improve glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

The ‘OPTIMISE Your Health’ study is a randomised control trial that tests whether a 6-month intervention (involving health coaching, use of sit-stand workstations at work, and a Fitbit) can reduce daily sitting time and improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Who can be involved?

  • Aged 35-65 years
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Working at least 0.8 FTE in a desk based occupation
  • Work in the Melbourne area
