Source: NHS England

The NHS and its partner Diabetes UK are delivering a new programme which provides a
low calorie, total diet replacement treatment for people who are living with overweight
and with type 2 diabetes – the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme.
The programme is being offered to eligible people in selected areas.

How it works

Eligible participants will be offered low calorie, total diet replacement products including
soups and shakes
consisting of 800 to 900 kilocalories a day for 12 weeks. During this time,
participants will replace all normal meals with these products. Alongside this, participants
will
receive support and monitoring for 12 months including help to re-introduce food after
the initial 12-week period. This support will provide participants with the help and advice
they need throughout every stage of the programme.
