TLC Trial-Australia Needs Type 2 Diabetic Volunteers

Filed in archive Education , Research , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on October 11, 2007

The Queensland University of Technology public health researchers are seeking individuals from Brisbane who have type 2 diabetes to become volunteers in a trial of a new interactive telephone system that will help them self-manage their condition.

The said trial - Telephone-Linked Care (TLC) Diabetes Program - commencing in November is aiming to enlist 340 people with Type 2 diabetes.

According to Queensland University of Technology public health researcher Professor Mary Courtney:

TLC would not replace doctors but aimed to complement the support that people with Type 2 diabetes already received from their GP, endocrinologist, dietitian and other health workers.

While it will not replace doctors' care, the TLC system will allow people with Type 2 diabetes to be actively involved in self-monitoring and managing their condition. When participants call the TLC system they will get feedback about their blood sugar monitoring.

Also, they will receive motivational information on exercise, nutrition and taking of medication based on their individual needs to enable them to actively participate in keeping themselves healthy."


Not aimed to replace doctor care, TLC will become a particularly valuable resource for people in remote and rural areas or those who do not have immediate access to health services.

Interested in enrolling? You can contact Dr. Dominique Bird on TLCDiabetes@coh.uq.edu.au or find more details from the Queensland University of Technology.
