Real-world proof: A third of type 2 diabetes patients in remission with “soups and shakes” diet

08 Aug 2024 — Research indicates that 32% of people with type 2 diabetes completing the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) Type 2 Diabetes Path Remission (T2DR) program put their diabetes into remission. These patients don’t need to take medication to regulate their blood sugar levels after. The year-long program offers participants nutritionally balanced, low-calorie products, such as soups and shakes, as meal replacements, combined with support from healthcare professionals. 

Additionally, participants reported significant weight loss over the program. The 940 participants who completed the one-year program reported a mean weight loss of 9.3% or 10.3 kg. In comparison, researchers recorded an average weight loss of 8.3% or 9.4 kg for all 1,710 participants who joined the program before January 2022.
