NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme commitments
Your commitment to us
During the length of the 12-month programme, we ask that you commit to:
- Attend all sessions with your Diabetes Practitioner, this will increase your chances of success. If you are unable to attend, please inform us as soon as possible. As this is a medically supervised programme, if you are unable to attend a number of sessions we may be required to discharge you from the programme. It is vital that you attend the first two sessions so that you have the information to start. If you are unable to do this it will delay your start.
- For your safety, you will need to provide us with health measurements throughout the programme. This includes blood glucose levels, weight and for anyone with hypertension, blood pressure measurements will also be required. It is essential that measurements are provided. Should you miss a measurement submission, we will follow up with you to collect this. In the event we are unable to obtain your measurements we will be required to discharge you from the programme as it would be unsafe to continue without this.
- Order your Total Diet Replacement products as instructed in a timely manner. Please note, once you have ordered your products you are unable to change these so please choose carefully. If you are unable to complete the programme you will need to dispose of any unused TDR products. If you feel that you are unable to commit to the programme, please do not proceed with ordering the products and inform us of this decision.
- If you withdraw or are discharged from the programme you are required to discuss with your GP as soon as possible. For your safety TDR products should not be consumed unless medically supervised.
- As discussed, it is important that you only consume your TDR products once your agreed medication changes (if any) have been enacted (and not before).
- Where instructed order your measuring kit in advance of your first session and have your measurements completed ready for your sessions with your Diabetes Practitioner. Please note if you are unable to complete the programme you will need to return your self-monitoring products back to the supplier at your own cost. If you feel that you are unable to commit to the programme, please do not proceed with ordering the products and inform us of this decision.
- Download the Wellbeing Way app and complete all online modules in a timely manner.
- Inform us if you no longer wish to continue with the programme.
- Inform us of any medication changes whilst you are in the TDR phase – this is to ensure it is safe for you to consume your TDR whilst on varying medications.
- Continue to attend yearly diabetes reviews with your GP.
- Inform us and your GP if you have any changes to your health that may impact on your ability to take part in the programme, for example:
| Pregnancy | Kidney problems | Porphyria |
| Cancer | Liver disease | Retinopathy |
| Heart attack | Drug addictions | Eating disorder – including Binge Eating Disorder |
| Stroke | Insulin user | Severe heart failure |
| Active liver disease (not non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) | Severe renal impairment |
