The Diabetes Remission (REMI-D) Roadmap – Practical steps for primary care teams
Non-pharmacological approaches to type 2 diabetes remission, in particular very-low-calorie-diet (VLCD) have gained prominence following the landmark DiRECT clinical trial. There is a need for team-based training for clinicians to incorporate VLCD-based programmes as part of routine service delivery to ensure effectiveness and patient safety.
