The NHS is set to prescribe weight loss products for thousands of patients with type two diabetes, it has been announced.
Weight loss programmes are set to be at the centre of the NHS drive to tackle diabetes. The new scheme, which will offer patients low-calorie total diet replacement products for 12 weeks, will be made available to patients across the country.
Whilst on the programme, currently only available to people in 21 areas of the country, patients are supposed to replace all normal meals with the “soups” and “shakes” products.
