Researching a low-calorie weight management programme to put diabetes into remission​

Thanks to our research funding, scientists are busy investigating a new weight management treatment, which includes a low-calorie diet, to help people put their type 2 diabetes into remission.

The ground-breaking study is called DiRECT, short for Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial, and it could completely change the way type 2 diabetes is treated in the future.

The study isn't finished yet, but we've already seen some exciting results. Based on these results, the NHS has begun to offer low calorie programmes in England and Scotland.
