Oviva Diabetes Remission

For the first time we are opening our Diabetes Remission programme to people with Type 2 diabetes who are on insulin therapy.

This digital programme is the first of its kind in the world, and widening access to 62,000 people a year will save more than £2.29 million a year in Type 2 Diabetes management costs across medications, monitoring, and hospital and GP usage.

Why now?

The NHS spent £1.2 billion on diabetes prescribing in 2020, of which £353 million was on insulin.¹

People on insulin have the highest risk of serious complications from their diabetes or from their treatment itself but to date they have not been able to access low calorie diet or remission services due to concerns around safety and a lack of good quality evidence.

Evidence has shown that intensive dietary intervention can
help people with Type 2 diabetes achieve remission through
rapid weight loss (15kg).²

Why should you commission Oviva Diabetes Remission?

Oviva has extensive experience in delivering diabetes remission services since 2014. We’ve also been a provider of the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission programme since it launched in 2020.

“People on insulin have the highest risk of serious complications from their diabetes or from their treatment itself. They are not able to access low calorie diet or remission services due to concerns around safety and a lack of good quality evidence.

Through our research, we will develop and evaluate a safe, effective, and remote low calorie diet programme for people on insulin therapy, a first of its kind in the world.”
