FitWell MD: Diabetes Remission Program

The Diabetes Remission Program (DRP) is a one year weight management program targeting those who have been diagnosed with diabetes for less than five years.

Ideal candidates have an A1C less than 8%, and are on no more than two oral medications for diabetes.

Our Diabetes Remission Program (DRP) is an evidence based program (using protocols from the DiRECT Trial and DAIDEM-1 Trial, which showed 12 month Type II diabetes remission rates of 46-61%).

The goal of the DRP program is to induce long-lasting diabetes remission (AIC <6.5% without medications) among newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes, using an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention model.
