## Summary Exercise and improved diet is known to be beneficial in the management of type 2 (non‐insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. In practice, however, it is difficult for patients to implement these changes unaided. We hypothesized that a lifestyle modification programme involving residential visits would result in beneficial effects on glycaemic control and lipid profile. Three hundred and four individuals with type 2 diabetes participated in a lifestyle modification programme, involving three residential visits (2 weeks, 1 week and one 3‐day visit) spaced over 31 weeks.

Oxygen uptake was significantly improved (__P__<0·0001) and blood pressure (__P__<0·0001), body mass index (__P__<0·0001) and serum cholesterol (__P__<0·001) was signi
