The NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission (T2DR) Programme provides a low-calorie diet treatment for people who are overweight and living with Type 2 diabetes to lose weight, improve their diabetes control, reduce diabetes-related medication and, in some cases, put their diabetes into remission.
What is the programme?
The programme has three phases:
- Total Diet Replacement: 12 weeks, with all meals replaced by total diet replacement (TDR) products
- Food re-introduction: 6 weeks, gradual reintroduction of real food
- Weight maintenance: To 52 weeks, ongoing support to build and maintain healthy lifestyles.
The whole programme, including coaching and all total diet replacement products, is free for participants.
