Brief summary
This study seeks to evaluate for people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes the six month implementation of a primary care prescribed physical activity programme. A kanohi-ki-te-kanohi/face-to-face approach will be compared to the telephone approach and differences between Maori or European and male and female responses assessed through measurements of weight and waist , questionnaires and interviews at baseline, six and twelve months.

The Green Prescription (GrX) programme is designed to increase the uptake of physical activity among individuals with physically-limiting medical conditions. A script (GrX) prepared by general practitioners or practice nurses is faxed to Regional Sports Trust GrX teams to typically provide advice and support around increasing physical activity and improving nutrition.

The Green Prescription (GrX) programme is designed to increase the uptake of physical activity among individuals with physically-limiting medical conditions. A script (GrX) prepared by general practitioners or practice nurses is faxed to Regional Sports Trust GrX teams to typically provide advice and support around increasing physical activity and improving nutrition. In this research the GrX is delivered by a GrX kaiwhakahaere/support person based at Sport Waikato. This person helps and supports the participant to set and achieve small achieveable goals with the GrX kaiwhakahaere through contact once a month for six months. The contact time is typically less than a hour.
