The final 20-30 minutes of each weekly session is allocated to the "lifestyle experiment". Participants are encouraged to complete their diabetes health profile. The lifestyle experiment session is not didactic in nature and it is intended to enable people to make informed decisions regarding their health results. The session may be delivered by the X-PERT educator. Alternatively a health/dietetic assistant or previous X-PERT Programme participant may be trained to deliver this aspect of the programme.
Patient handout so you want to .
The participants receive a one-page handout called
So you want to.................. If they wish to improve certain aspects of their health the checklists are useful pointers to help them make lifestyle changes that will bring about the desired effect.
Patient experiments to encourage healthy lifestyle changes
These sessions are intentionally named
lifestyle experiment because experimenting is less likely to make people feel like a failure if they try something and it doesnt work. The handouts include exercises intended to raise motivation, increase the driving forces for change, and remove or reduce
the restraining ones. Each week people are encouraged to try a different experiment or to continue with one already started. Participants keep a record of any experiments undertaken and learn from past experiences.
