Frequently Asked Questions

  • MINDEF and SAF cares deeply about its personnel and is collaborating with NOVI Health to help them achieve their health goals!

  • No, this program is offered free of charge to eligible participants from MINDEF/SAF. Limited slots are available, so please make an appointment with us as soon as possible.

  • Please note that participation in this program is entirely voluntary and will not affect your employment with MINDEF/SAF in any manner.

  • A CGM is a device that allows you to see your sugar levels in real-time.

    We currently use the FreeStyle Libre (FSL) sensor by Abbott. It is a small sensor that is worn on the arm. With this sensor, users can scan a reader device (mobile phone) over the sensor to get their current glucose readings. It also provides a complete picture of glucose variations over time.

    Knowing how your blood sugar responds to your diet and daily activities can help you optimize the way you eat and work out, so that you can feel more energetic, and improve your performance.

    For individuals with diabetes, a CGM can help to optimize your medication and diet, so that you can be more in control while enjoying what life has to offer.

  • As SAF is covering the cost of the program for participants and there are limited slots, it is strongly encouraged for you to complete the program.

  • The program is offered to Regulars from Army, RSN, RSAF, DIS, Joint, and MINDEF. Slots for DXOs will be available from October 2026 onwards, subject to availability.

  • Health coaching is done primarily through messaging via the NOVI Health.

    You will be required to log your food and physical activities during the program, so that your coach can have data to provide relevant advice.
