Reverse your diabetes with the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme

NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme
The NHS is delivering a new 12-month low calorie diet treatment for people in the North East and North Cumbria living with Type 2 diabetes who are above a healthy weight. Delivered by Momenta, it’s based on the DiRECT study which showed this approach could help people lose weight, improve their diabetes control, reduce diabetes-related medication and even achieve remission.
On average participants lose 10-15% of their starting weight.
The programme is completely free but you can only participate if you’re referred by your GP practice.

Really appreciate this video. I am starting this programme very soon in a different part of the country. It's good to find out a little bit more, so I know what to expect in the coming weeks and months ahead.

That is great to hear! I appreciate it is very 'North East' specific, but I am so glad that you are able to find this useful. We have had some very promising results this end and so I hope it works out for you! Good luck.
