REWIND GP information
If your patient has had Type 2 diabetes for less than 12 years and meets the inclusion criteria below then they may be eligible for our new one-year REWIND service. This free service aims to support your patient in leading a healthier lifestyle, reduce their diabetes medicines and even achieve diabetes remission.
How does it work?
The unique one year programme combines regular group and one-to-one telephone contact with online learning to support individuals in achieving their health goals. If eligible for the service, individuals will be fully supported by a team that includes GPs, practice nurses, health coaches, specialist dietitians and exercise specialists. Research shows that changing diet and lifestyle can benefit the management of Type 2 diabetes, therefore our programme includes education and coaching on nutrition, movement and health behaviour change. After the initial assessment, there are two options:
Total diet replacement
12 weeks of very low-calorie diet of shakes and soups, followed by 12 weeks of gently reintroducing food, and then 6-months maintaining a new healthy eating lifestyle. The cost of this is approximately £2 per day, and replaces all food, so may make shopping bills lower! This option is only available to those eligible.
The low carb choice
If your patient is ineligible for total diet replacement, your patient can choose the low carb option. This is 12 weeks of learning a new low carbohydrate diet followed by 12 weeks of incorporating learnings into every day life and is completed with a 6-month maintenance phase. This option is available to anyone who is eligible for the programme.
