apljack,

Thanks for that info. I think the idea is feasible. I remember folks within my workplace going to "wellness" programs which were run at a gym on site. I believe they focused on exercise and diet, so the idea isn't unique. I would just love to use this approach to deal with the growing type II diabetes population (children and adults), and I believe your mention of "behavioral health psychologists" would be one of the specialists needed to make this work. These diabetics need to have their behavior/habits rewired to include improved diet and a consistent exercise program. As a type I diabetic, my relatively strict diet and regular exercise have allowed me to control my blood sugars and thereby avoid any diabetic complications the past 20 years.
