The NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme is a new, one-year programme to support a healthier lifestyle, weight loss, and remission of Type 2 diabetes.
The NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme is a free programme designed to help you reduce your diabetes medications, lose weight, improve your health, and potentially put your type 2 diabetes into remission.
You will be offered low calorie, total diet replacement products (typically soups, shakes and porridges) totaling 800‑900 kilocalories per day, to replace all normal meals for 12 weeks. You will receive support and monitoring for 12 months, including help to re‑introduce food after the initial 12-week period. Coaching sessions are delivered by one of our qualified diabetes practitioners, along with online learning and resources including meal plans and recipes
This support will provide you with the help and advice you need throughout every phase of the programme. Your GP practice will be kept informed of your progress and if any medication changes might be needed.
For the first 12 weeks of the programme, you will follow a low-calorie diet (typically shakes, porridge and soups).
Following this, we will work with you to healthily reintroduce food into your diet, focusing on movement and maintaining a new healthy eating lifestyle.
