Type 2 diabetes & metabolic syndrome: a new DiRECT paradigm
CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
DiRECT has led to a new understanding of type 2 diabetes as part of the metabolic syndrome, caused by excess body fat accumulation in genetically susceptible people, and reversible by losing 10-15kg. This webinar will explore the evidence and implications for practice.
CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:
- Clinical risks from Type 2 diabetes
- New understanding of the mechanism behind type 2 diabetes
- Reversibility of type 2 diabetes, with reduced lifetime total NHS healthcare costs
- Safety of the programme for blood pressure etc
BE AWARE OF:
- Value of re-coding patients as ‘Diabetes in Remission’ (which still recalls them for annual HbA1c and eye checks)
- Not all are able to adhere to the current best evidence-based diet programme
- Remissions are still possible for longer durations, but may require greater weight loss
- Other diet programmes are being marketed but do not have RCT evidence for remission
BE ABLE TO:
- Advise patients and family carers that most cases of type 2 diabetes are reversible with sufficient weight loss, early enough
- Access and recommend resources for sustained weight loss and remissions on the www.directclinicaltrial.org.uk website
- Offer consistent encouragement and support, to optimise programme adherence
