Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI and Plus
There are two different Reverse Diabetes2 Now programs:
Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI is a digital program for people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who use no medication or only metformin and have impaired fasting glucose. "GLI" stands for combined lifestyle intervention.
Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus is a physical program for people with type 2 diabetes who use more diabetes medication than only metformin, including SU derivatives or insulin. "Plus" stands for additional medical supervision to safely reduce blood sugar lowering medication.
The main difference between the programs is the extra medical supervision required in Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus. Additionally, Reverse Diabetes2 Now Plus takes place partly in-person at a location (outside of a hospital setting), while Reverse Diabetes2 Now GLI is fully online. Different conditions apply for participation in both programs.
Reverse Diabetes2 Now as best practice in Europe
The European Union has selected Reverse Diabetes2 Now as a best practice in the fight against type 2 diabetes. Under the name CARE4DIABETES Joint Action, twelve EU countries have committed to piloting the program within their healthcare systems. Local teams in countries including Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Finland rolled out the program after a series of train-the-trainer sessions in late 2023.
“CARE4DIABETES is a great example of European collaboration to address the growing challenge of type 2 diabetes,” says Jelka Zaletel from Slovenia’s National Institute of Public Health. “We’re building on the strengths of each country and learning from Voeding Leeft’s practical approach to create a sustainable, scalable solution.”
