The NHS Type 2 Diabetes Pathway to Remission (T2DR) Programme (formerly the NHS Low Calories Diet Programme) is an innovative and free service if you are overweight and are living with type 2 diabetes. The programme includes one-to-one digital and face-to-face support.
The one year programme supports healthier lifestyles, weight loss, and remission of type 2 diabetes by combining specialist nutrition, behaviour change strategies and physical activity to support rapid weight loss and long-term lifestyle changes.
It works by offering 12 weeks of a low calorie diet followed by four weeks of gradual food reintroduction and eight months of weight maintenance, achieved through healthy eating, movement and online support.
