Diabetes Prevention

In October 2023, the IDA approved the Value Assessment for a digitally enabled programme designed to help individuals with prediabetes to reduce their weight and prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.

A digital weight management and lifestyle programme, based on behaviour change methods, it will offer support from dietitians, nutritionists, and health coaches. Participants will engage in a 9-month programme aimed at achieving a 5% reduction in body weight. This reduction is expected to lead to lower BMI, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, as well as increased physical activity and improved diet quality.
