At Slimming World, we\u2019ve helped thousands of members to lose weight and manage their diabetes. Now, we\u2019ve partnered with Diabetes UK to make that support even stronger.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Salmon, Slimming World\u2019s managing director, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always directed our members living with diabetes to Diabetes UK for support outside of weight management, so we\u2019re delighted to be working more closely with them to collaborate on resources, produce co-branded recipes, increase our knowledge and share our expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership enables us to further deepen our understanding of the challenges and misconceptions people living with diabetes face. We\u2019re committed to supporting our members with the latest and most effective information in diabetes care, and to reach even more people living with diabetes or at risk of type 2 diabetes with inspiration and advice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Slimming World members with type 2 diabetes have been able to reduce their medication and, for some, even put the condition into remission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since joining Slimming World in January 2021, Jennifer Marshall has lost 8st 13\u00bdlbs \u2013 and in 2022, she was told her type 2 diabetes was in remission.<\/p>\n\n\n

She says: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it when my doctor told me that my blood sugar levels were below the diabetes range \u2013 in fact, I don\u2019t think he could believe it either! I\u2019ve completely transformed my health by changing what I eat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Slimming World supports members with diabetes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Type 1 diabetes: Taking insulin or other medication doesn\u2019t need to be a barrier to losing weight. Many Slimming World members with type 1 diabetes lose weight and steadily become fitter and healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 2 diabetes: We have advice on managing blood glucose levels, including a five-day low-carbohydrate eating plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediabetes: If you\u2019ve been told that you\u2019re at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, making positive and lasting lifestyle changes can help you avoid or delay a diagnosis in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slimming World’s latest evaluation found that more than half of members surveyed with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, who had lost at least 10% of their body weight, said they had put the condition into remission.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
