DIAfit: programme for patients with type 2 diabetes

Clinique Valmont joins the national DIAfit programme, which is aimed at patients with type 2 diabetes.

What is the DIAfit programme?

DIAfit is a programme designed for people with type 2 diabetes, aimed at improving their lifestyle, supervised by a multidisciplinary team.

It offers a tailored rehabilitation programme that is beneficial for the heart, well-being and diabetes management. The programme is open to everyone, whether active or retired, following a preliminary medical assessment.

The DIAfit programme

The DIAfit programme runs for three months.

The next session will begin on 15 September 2025 and end on 8 December 2025.

Physical activity

The DIAfit programme includes 36 compulsory one-hour physical activity sessions.

Weekly programme:

  • Monday from 8.30am to 9.30am: muscle strengthening at Clinique Valmont 
  • Wednesday from 8.30am to 9.30am: aquagym at Clinique Valmont 
  • Friday from 8.30am to 9.30am: Nordic walking starting from our therapy centre in Montreux

Therapeutic education workshops

Six group-based therapeutic education workshops are available, led by our dietitian, specialist nurse or diabetes specialist.

Follow-up by a diabetes specialist

Throughout the programme, participants receive personalised follow-up care from a diabetes specialist. This specialist provides tailored care, adjusts treatment if necessary and helps each patient understand and manage their diabetes in relation to physical activity.
