Xyla has been delivering the NHS Type 2 Path to Remission Programme since June 2023. The programme aims to help those recently diagnosed to reverse their type 2 diabetes and come off diabetes-related medication.
It is intended for those who have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic within the last six years and have a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher in people from a white background, or 25 kg/m2 for those from all other ethnic backgrounds. Blood sugar levels, or HbA1c to use the clinical term, need to be 43 -87 mmol/mol for those taking diabetes medication and 48-87 mmol/mol for those not taking diabetes medication.
Referrals to the programme can be made by trained clinicians (GPs, pharmacists and diabetic nurses).
Since we started running the programme
- 7,000 patients have been referred since June 2023
- 32% of referrals are from ethnic minorities
- Over 60% of starters complete the 12 month programme
- The average weight loss at the end of the programme is 11.5kg
- The total weight loss from all those who have completed our programmes is 35000kg, which is the equivalent of 7 adult African elephants
- 112,628 sessions have been conducted at 160 venues across all contracts
- 97% of those who went on the programme rated it as good or very good
